North Carolina Seeks 3-0 Start Against Wyoming

Undefeated North Carolina hosts Wyoming on Tuesday as new coach Michael Malone’s team seeks to build cohesion with 11 new players. The Tar Heels followed an 80-72 win over Western Carolina with a 109-70 victory over Wofford, led by Terrence Brown’s 21 points. Wyoming is also 2-0 after two lopsided wins, including a 93-62 victory over Idaho State, and sophomore Nasir Meyer had 18 points and nine rebounds in that game. Rebounding is an early concern for North Carolina, which has been narrowly outboarded across its first two games; freshman forward Maximo Adams has offered a productive presence on the glass, while center Sayon Keita’s role is under scrutiny.
