P.J. Hairston was feeling it – hitting four threes in less than four minutes en route to North Carolina’s 82-70 victory at Boston College. Then, he was really feeling it after crashing into Dexter Strickland while defending a shot.
It didn’t look that bad at first but he was very slow getting up and then he was dead weight, obviously needing to be carted off.
Hopefully he’ll be back in a game or two. You have to figure though with all the attention concussions have gotten, he will miss some action. After the game, Hairston tweeted, “Thanks to everyone for the support, I’m okay just a very very bad headache.”
Reggie Bullock will have to stay out of foul trouble for sure if Hairston is out any at all. Leslie McDonald still has one game left to serve of his suspension so that makes Bullock’s outside shooting even more important.
Jackson Simmons, who was seldom used earlier in the season, saw 21 minutes of playing time against Boston College. He went four of five for eight points and pulled down four rebounds.
