North Carolina coach Hubert Davis can no longer look to his bench and know he's putting in a proven scorer now that Dawson Garcia announced he would not return this season for the Tar Heels.
Davis doesn't have the luxury of tapping Anthony Harris either anymore, as a veteran who was a top defender and whose energy was generally a spark to the lineup.
According to Ken Pomeroy, UNC's bench minutes are at 21.6 percent, which is well below the national average of 31.8 percent and ranks 341 among 358 NCAA Division I teams. Only Miami, Virginia and Syracuse have used their respective benches less than the Tar Heels.
