Youthful Heels play like veterans in win at Rupp
Posted Dec 4, 2005
Freshmen aren't supposed to be poised enough to keep it together when the 10th-ranked team in the country is making a comeback run. They're not supposed to actually enjoy the atmosphere of playing in their first road game. And they're certainly not supposed to be able to hear their own coach's instructions when they are playing in raucous building such as Rupp Arena. So after North Carolina silenced Kentucky's crowd with an 83-79 shocker on Saturday, point guard Bobby Frasor had to grin -- along with his freshman teammates, of course.
