When North Carolina faced off with California Wednesday night, Andrej Stojakovic was on top of the scouting report.

The Golden Bears are a mess at the present. They are 8-9 overall, and next to last in the Atlantic Coast Conference with a 1-5 league record. But they still have a couple of players that have to be accounted for. The first is Stojakovic. He entered the game averaging 20.3 points per game.
