Tar Heels feel they are peaking at the right time

Posted Mar 26, 2008

While considering the domination with which UNC has carved up its NCAA Tournament opponents thus far, Wayne Ellington rationalized the butchery by saying the Tar Heels know their season is on the line every time they step on the court. Then in the next breath, the sweet-shooting guard offered a statement that might be difficult to argue. "I think we're the toughest team in America to beat when we're playing like this," Ellington said. (Gaston Gazette)
