UNC to battle surging State

Posted Feb 18, 2009
North Carolina and N.C. State will try to build on late-season surges today when they meet for the second time this season, this time at the Smith Center. The Tar Heels will likely have back Tyler Zeller, a 7-foot freshman who has been recovering since Nov. 18 from a broken left wrist. Zeller has been practicing since last week and told Coach Roy Williams on Monday that he wanted to play again this season. (Winston-Salem Journal)
