Tar Heels, Ellington try to extend roll

Posted Jan 28, 2009
North Carolina checks the shelf life Wednesday night on its recaptured confidence and Wayne Ellington's rediscovered mojo.

And Ellington, a junior sharpshooter who appears awakened from a haze, arrives at Florida State locked and loaded like never before this season. (Burlington Times News)
