Wayne Ellington Orchestrates a Sudden Blowout of Miami

Posted Jan 18, 2009
With the Hurricanes hanging around to a degree, Wayne Ellington went off, dropping eight consecutive baskets (seven of which were three pointers) in a show that ended up as a 23 point -- all in the second half, mind you -- effort. Tyler Hansbrough, in a very underreported story, was fairly ineffective (he's still Jay Bilas' POY, though!). Yes, he scored 24 points, but he only managed seven boards and still shot under 50 percent (AOL Fanhouse)
