Byron Sanders has done what UNC needs

Posted Mar 1, 2006

"Of course everybody expects to be the No. 1 star on the team because that's what they're used to," said Byron Sanders, a 6-foot-9 senior from Gulfport, Miss. "But I had to build around what I had, what I had to do to help the team get better. So I did." Now comes the nerves and excitement of Senior Night, as Virginia visits tonight for the Tar Heels' final home game. (Greensboro News & Record)
