UNC realizes it needs more than offense to win title

Posted Nov 28, 2007

Toughness, defense, rebounding -- get used to hearing those words from Williams this year. Though we tend to think of Carolina as having returned from last season virtually intact, Williams is quick to point out that last year his four best defenders were Reyshawn Terry, Wes Miller, Brandan Wright and Marcus Ginyard. All but Ginyard are gone. The void up front is now being filled by two sophomores, Deon Thompson and Alex Stepheson. (Sports Illustrated)
