UNC's Thompson, Graves hurting

Posted Mar 5, 2010
In a season that has seen eight different North Carolina players miss at least one game because of injury, it wasn’t all that surprising to learn that two Tar Heels – Deon Thompson (sore back) and Will Graves (who has been in a walking boot because of a sprained ankle) -- are hobbling entering Saturday’s game at No. 4 Duke. Coach Roy Williams said he is hopeful that both will play, although it will be a game-time decision. (Raleigh News & Observer)
