Posted Mar 20, 2009

Apparently, the Tar Heels will have a lot of work to do in the scouting department, if LSU guard Marcus Thornton is telling the truth. "We have a play call we've been running the whole year, and nobody can stop it," said Thornton, who scored 30 points against the Bulldogs. (Raleigh News & Observer)
