On Roy Williams Live on Monday night, UNC's head coach said that he is "cautiously feeling better" about having senior point guard Joel Berry back for Wednesday's game against Bucknell.

Williams said that the coaching staff let Berry practice on Monday and will see how he feels Tuesday to determine the next plan of action. Berry "did not have any different pain in his hand or anything" following Monday's practice, according to Williams.

The staff is expected to let Berry practice on Tuesday as well, barring any setbacks.

Berry had been dribbling and shooting the last four or five days, according to Williams. The Florida native went through warm-ups before the Tar Heels' game against Northern Iowa on Friday night.

Berry broke his hand on Saturday, Oct. 21 after punching a door following a video game loss.

A release sent out by UNC that Monday (Oct. 23) approximated that Berry would be back in four weeks. That time period ends on Monday, Nov. 20 -- the day the Tar Heels play at Stanford in Palo Alto, Calif.

UNC takes on Bucknell on Wednesday, Nov. 15 at 8:00 p.m. in the Dean E. Smith Center.
