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. Since starting 0-2 in the ACC, the Tar Heels, coming off a weeklong break, have cranked out three straight victories by a convincing average margin of 21 points. 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)
