ST. LOUIS — Kendall Marshall will not play today when North Carolina plays against Kansas in the NCAA tournament Midwest regional final. Marshall, the sophomore point guard, suffered a broken bone in his right wrist in a victory a week ago against Creighton.

Stilman White, a freshman who started and played 32 minutes in UNC’s 73-65 overtime victory against Ohio on Friday night, will start against Kansas. White had six assists and no turnovers in the victory against Bobcats.

Marshall participated in some of the Tar Heels’ practice on Saturday, but he said he likely wouldn’t play unless he felt significant improvement in his wrist. Marshall said he thought he’d likely be able to play if the Tar Heels advance to the Final Four in New Orleans.
