Dexter Strickland Posts Best Game As A Tar Heel

Posted Dec 2, 2009
Dexter Strickland watched the 2009 NCAA championship game at home with his mother and family, sporting a Carolina hat and pictured himself on the court. Tuesday night he got his chance to battle the Spartans and contributed fourteen solid minutes with nine points, three assists and no turnovers. And it was his three to end the first half that quieted the doubts and electrified the crowd. (Tar Heel Blue)
