Marcus Ginyard returns in Heels' victory

Posted Dec 29, 2008
With about eight minutes left in the first half Sunday night, Ed Davis yawned as Rutgers prepared to shoot a free throw. But the North Carolina freshman wasn’t bored or about to fall asleep. Moments later he delivered a crowd-pleasing block that started a 11-0 run by the Tar Heels, who went on to secure a 97-75 victory. It was the undefeated, No. 1 ranked Tar Heels 12th straight double-digit win in its 12-0 getaway. (Raleigh News & Observer)
