Marcus Ginyard not getting stops

Posted Nov 24, 2009
Marcus Ginyard has always been touted as a defensive stopper. Well six games into the season I still don't see it. With only four games against true competition the opposing players top perimeter player has gone off against the Tar Heels. Brandon Wood of Valpo went for 30, Evan Turner of Ohio State 23 points, Wesley Johnson had 25 for Syracuse, Grayson Flittner went for 32 and tied the Smith Center record with nine three pointers.
