Carolina blue has turned to green

Posted Nov 29, 2005

Marcus Ginyard relishes the prospect of his first high-profile game at North Carolina, an NCAA title game rematch tonight against visiting No. 12 Illinois in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. And just how long has he been looking forward to it? "I've been thinking about it since I saw the schedule," the freshman guard replied with a grin late last week. "That's just one of those games that you never have to worry about getting fired up for." (Washington Times)
