Tar Heels could use close call

Posted Jan 4, 2009
This is how well North Carolina's season has gone so far: Friday, senior swingman Danny Green admitted it would be nice to play in a close game or two, if only for the practice. With the Tar Heels racking up wins by double-digit margins, they have so far managed to exceed even the highest expectations that were placed up on this team. Even Green acknowledged he never thought he would ever be in a position where he would prefer a game come down to the final possession. (Charlotte Observer)
