Zeller should add spark off the bench

Posted Feb 21, 2009
There is no doubt that Tyler Zeller, the lanky forward from Indiana, was rusty in his first game back -- especially reacting on defense. But with his natural offensive instincts, he could become the spark off the bench UNC has lacked during the ACC season if he can quickly sandblast that rust. That means entering today's game at Maryland, he could help UNC's 10-game winning streak keep rolling right into postseason play. (Raleigh News & Observer)
