Walker Kessler is a player to watch for more than his numbers on the day. He runs the court like a gazelle and glides beneath the basket so effortlessly that he seems to open the floor for others to operate. And, most of all, he is learning to play the college game with confidence. Kessler started the second half and scored three of UNC's first four field goals. (Chapelboro.com)
