Marcus Ginyard stresses effort on defense

Posted Jan 6, 2009
Marcus Ginyard missed the opportunity to guard Tyrese Rice on Sunday, but not as much as his team missed having its defensive stopper at 100 percent. Although Ginyard played 14 minutes off the bench, his surgically repaired left foot limited his movement and his ability to boost his team's subpar defensive performance. Rice finished with 25 points in BC's win, snapping UNC's 13-game winning streak and dropping the Tar Heels from No. 1 to No. 3 in the AP poll. (Raleigh News & Observer)
