Carolina's fab frosh leading title defense
Posted Mar 19, 2006
In the last 15 minutes of their NCAA tournament opener, the North Carolina Tar Heels got all of their points from four freshmen playing well beyond their years. Tyler Hansbrough, Danny Green, Bobby Frasor and Marcus Ginyard - only months removed from high school - scored the final 29 points in the Tar Heels' 69-65 victory over Murray State. None of them realized what they'd done until it was pointed out afterward.
