Unsung Heels

Posted Apr 4, 2008

Quentin Thomas sat in a locker stall at Charlotte Bobcats Arena early Sunday morning wearing the hottest thing in men's basketball fashion -- a net necklace. "I think I'm going to get some diamonds," the North Carolina senior guard said as he curled the net around a finger. "Ask my jeweler." Minutes earlier, Tar Heels coach Roy Williams had told Thomas to collect the first net after every Carolina player had taken a piece following the Heels' Elite Eight win over Louisville.
