Wagner vs UNC injury report

Heading into March Madness, UNC has no one on the injury report, while Wagner does have a few players out.

Due to the injuries, Wagner only has seven scholarship players on the roster, which has impacted their practice schedule.

“It was unorthodox at times, for sure," head coach Donald Copeland said, via TheScore. “I had to switch certain things. I had to change some of our drills differently. I had to come up with new things.

"My staff was phenomenal throughout this whole thing because I drive them as well, and then I’m also asking them to be token players as we prepare for other teams. They did it. They’re in great shape, I make sure of it.”

Zaire Williams will miss the entire March Madness tournament due to a torn meniscus. He last played on December 10th and was averaging 9.3 points per game, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.2 assists before his injury.
