North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Roy Williams is uncertain about the status of Joel Berry entering Sunday’s second-round game against Arkansas.

Speaking with the media on Saturday, Williams said he was unsure if the junior guard would play against Arkansas.

Roy is hopeful but reiterates that he's not Mr. Miyagi and can't just rub the ankle back to full health

Berry turned his ankle early in the second half of UNC’s win over Texas Southern on Friday but later returned. He finished with just three points and three assists in 22 minutes.

Despite Williams’ concerns, Berry seems to be more optimistic about his health.

Maybe Williams is trying to create some uncertainty to make Arkansas’ preparation for the game more difficult, because Berry sounds like he intends to play.
