Defensive stopper can't stop Ellington

Posted Apr 11, 2009
Before North Carolina played Michigan State in Monday night's national championship game at Ford Field, Michigan State's Travis Walton offered Tar Heels guard Wayne Ellington a preview of what was about to happen. "Man, I'm going to shut you down!" Walton told Ellington. "You're going to get nothing!" Walton, a senior from Lima, Ohio, had reason to be confident. He had earned the reputation of a defensive stopper in the NCAA tournament. (ESPN.com)
