UNC's Theo Pinson will make season debut vs. NC State

North Carolina coach Roy Williams said junior Theo Pinson will make his season debut against NC State.

The game was originally scheduled for Saturday, but was moved to Sundaydue to the threat of continued sub-freezing temperatures creating dangerous road conditions in the area as North Carolina declared a State of Emergency.

Pinson was a probable starter entering the season, but broke the fifth metatarsal in his right foot and had surgery in October.

"Right now, unless he screws it up in practice I'll play him tomorrow," Williams said.

At the conclusion of Williams' press conference, Pinson entered the media room and told Williams, "you blew my cover."

"I'm like Clark Kent," Pinson said. "I was going to come out like Superman."

Pinson, a 6-foot-6 guard/forward, averaged 4.5 points last season and appeared in every game for the Tar Heels.
