Heels expect an extra Tyler

Posted Feb 18, 2009
Despite sitting on the bench for roughly 13 weeks because of a broken left wrist, forward Tyler Zeller will likely play tonight. “If it was 15 years ago, I wouldn't even let a young man consider giving up a year for five regular-season games and whatever postseason games we might have,” Roy Williams said Tuesday. Williams said 7-foot Zeller made the decision Monday to return rather than take a redshirt season. (Charlotte Observer)
