Wayne Ellington's 3s set tone for Heels

Posted Apr 5, 2009

If Wayne Ellington didn’t have anything better to do, he could have been among the favorites to win the 3-point shooting contest held in conjunction with the Final Four. Ellington, however, was occupied hitting 3-pointers on a significantly bigger stage to help his Tar Heels earn a spot in Monday’s national title game. In a game in which 3-point success told much of the story on both ends of the court, Ellington was the main marksman. (Fayetteville Observer)
