UNC heads to break with a win worth celebrating

Posted Dec 23, 2007

Marcus Ginyard took what the defense gave him to the tune of a career-high 17 points as top-ranked UNC rebounded from a suspect outing against Nicholls State. "I thought Marcus was sensational with his defensive play and just being Marcus today," Roy Williams said. "I told him during one of the timeouts he doesn't have to be anybody but Marcus. Just be the player that you are and you'll be really, really good for us." (Durham Herald-Sun)
