Roy Williams and North Carolina will need to make several adjustments with Dexter Strickland out for the remainder of the season.

Reggie Bullock will be promoted to the starting lineup, while Stilman White will play more minutes at the backup point guard.

“It’s always difficult, because you do change the minutes, you do change the rotation, you do change habits,’’ said Williams. "Kendall [Marshall] is a guy, as a point guard, who really studies what his teammates like -- where they like the ball. We know, for a fact, that Dexter’s not just going to catch the ball and go up and shoot it, he’s going to put the ball on the floor, and if he can do that, he’s got a much greater chance of making it. And now, you’ve got somebody in the game that’s doing it different than Dexter. 

“So it takes a while to get smooth with the playing style … it changes. It changes how everything goes on the court out there. Sometimes those transitions are pretty easy, and sometimes they’re difficult. So we’re just going to have to wait and see.”
