Heels, Thompson topple Belmont Abbey in exhibition

Posted Nov 7, 2009
Senior Deon Thompson has recorded only two 20-plus point games in his North Carolina career. Judging by the Tar Heels' 107-59 exhibition victory over Belmont Abbey on Friday night, he's poised to post quite a few more. Thompson, who spent the last two seasons starting in all-everything Tyler Hansbrough's shadow, scored 23 points on 11-for-12 shooting at the Smith Center. (Raleigh News & Observer)
