University of North Carolina senior point guard Ed Cota did not practice with the team Friday due to a viral infection. Cota's status for the game on Saturday against Florida State will be determined after an examination by UNC medical personnel in the morning.
The Tar Heels are scheduled to tip off at 1:03 p.m. against the Seminoles.
Doctors did say the virus was not the flu.
Cota leads the Atlantic Coast Conference in assists with 8.6 per game. He had 10 assists in Carolina's loss at Virginia on Tuesday and moved into ninth place in NCAA history with 901 assists.
He has not missed a game since a Jan. 31, 1999, win over Georgia Tech. He did not play that day after suffering a calf muscle injury in the previous contest at Duke.
