Ellington's 3s put UNC in position
Posted Mar 16, 2008
"When the game's on the line, and we've got to step up and get buckets, I feel real confident that I can step up and do it,'' Wayne Ellington said. And he did it -- again. Although forward Tyler Hansbrough was the Tar Heel who hit the winning jump shot to beat the Hokies 68-66 at Bobcats Arena, it was Ellington's clutch play in the final minutes that put Hansbrough in the position to make it. And win it.
