Strickland looking to be 'Dex Factor' again

Posted Nov 6, 2011
For a player who is the only one in the starting lineup not on the Naismith nominee list, Dexter Strickland is going to be asked to do a lot for the top-ranked Tar Heels this season. As UNC’s best perimeter defender, he’s slated to start at shooting guard and will likely take on the top guard on most opposing teams. He’ll need to shoot better than last season in order to keep opposing defenses honest. (ESPN.com)
