Observations: Virginia Tech vs. UNC
Posted Mar 5, 2009
Here's a great stat: Freshman forward Ed Davis is averaging a rebound every 2.7 minutes, a figure better than the career numbers for Sam Perkins (one every 3.8 minutes), George Lynch and Antawn Jamison (both had one every 3.4 minutes). They are three of the top four players on North Carolina's all-time rebounding list. The other is Billy Cunningham, and minutes played weren't tracked during his career.
