Lucas: True Grit

Posted Mar 18, 2007

In the wake of Saturday night's victory over Michigan State, Reyshawn Terry was looking for the right words to describe the Spartans. He pondered for just a second, and then he said this: "That is a tough team. The toughest team we've played all year long." Tough is one of a basketball player's biggest compliments. Sometimes, it is a synonym for dirty. Not on Saturday. On Saturday, tough meant tough. (Tar Heel Blue)
