North Carolina sophomore Alex Stepheson will not play in Wednesday's basketball game against Kent State due to a family illness, head coach Roy Williams announced.

"Alex has returned to California due to an illness in his family," Williams said. "We are not certain when he will be able to return. Of course, at this time our thoughts and prayers are with Alex and his family."

Stepheson, a 6-foot-9 forward, has played in all 13 games for the top-ranked and unbeaten Tar Heels. Stepheson, a native of Los Angeles, is averaging 3.5 points and 4.8 rebounds in 13.9 minutes per game.

Should have been wearing a helmet.

"state's been doing much better on the boards. still need to get the stroke from behind the ar though. fells is streaky, and costner is improving some. javi, horner and johnson need to contribute."

State knows where the problems are. They just need to fix a lot before Saturday week, or the Heels are going to embarrass us like MSU did, or worse.

"If State doesn't figure something out, and quick, they will lose BADLY. State doesn't shoot the three well, they don't rebound well, and they lose BAD!"
