Heels roll to 12-0
Posted Dec 29, 2008
It started as a rumble, then escalated into a thunderous roar when Marcus Ginyard peeled off his warmup shirt and stepped onto the court Sunday night. "Marcus Ginnyard! Marcus Ginyard!" shouted the Smith Center crowd, now on its feet welcoming back North Carolina's senior. Having missed the first 11 games after suffering a bone fracture in his left foot, Ginyard logged 11 minutes as the No. 1-ranked Tar Heels rebuffed pesky Rutgers 97-75.
