Wayne Ellington has witnessed the respect and adoration bestowed on members of North Carolina’s 2005 national championship team. “They’ve got a banner,” Ellington said a day prior to the championship game. “We’re going to work for ours. We can’t say anything to them until we get a banner up there.” Now he has membership in the exclusive club of title holders with the Tar Heels. (Fayetteville Observer)
