North Carolina’s role players look like stars
Posted Mar 24, 2008
North Carolina's recognizable stars - Tyler Hansbrough, Wayne Ellington and Ty Lawson - all did their usual outstanding jobs in the Tar Heels' victory against Arkansas. Throw in showcase performances from North Carolina role players Deon Thompson, Alex Stepheson and Quentin Thomas and you're staring scary good in the face. It's also lends further explanation for the rout, as the Tar Heels trampled the Razorbacks 108-77.
