Wayne Ellington has a real home advantage

Posted Mar 27, 2009
There are a number of factors that could pull Wayne Ellington back to UNC for his senior season: the drive to earn his degree, the desire to try to reach another Final Four, the goal of raising his NBA stock. And of course, his dad's fried chicken.
