Welcome Back, Wayne

Posted Jan 18, 2009
The junior guard finally flipped his shooting switch against Miami. Simply put, Wayne Ellington got mad – and then he exploded for 23 second-half points, including seven 3-pointers, to lift No. 5 North Carolina to a 82-65 victory. The Philadelphia, Pa. native struggled to work into the offensive flow in the first 20 minutes. But an offensive rebound and the ensuing layup removed the zero beside Ellington’s name in the box score, and the exhibition began. (Inside Carolina)
