Local player talking smack to UNC hoops star

Posted Apr 17, 2009
If tonight's game were the real thing, Tyquan Alexander's coach would not be happy. The Hunter Huss senior this week has provided all kinds of "bulletin-board material" as his local all-stars prepare to face Tyler Hansbrough, Danny Green and other college basketball stars in tonight's Carolina Barnstorming game. "I'm going to shut Danny Green down," Alexander boldly proclaimed. "He ain't gonna score but 10 points." Uh ... good luck. (Gaston Gazette)
