Roy's benching of Johnson sparks fire, energy

Posted Dec 19, 2015
There was a moment during the first half against UCLA where UNC forward Brice Johnson said something that did not please head coach Roy Williams. It was enough for Williams to bench Johnson for roughly eight minutes during the first half. "I kind of used some bad language. He lit a fire under my butt, when I got back in I was ready to go. I have to learn from that." (Carolina Blue)
