Benched by Williams for mistakes, Graves focuses on staying focused

Posted Dec 28, 2009
Will Graves is back in Coach Roy Williams' North Carolina doghouse, the term of confinement to be determined. Graves might return to the starting lineup today for an 8:30 p.m. game against Rutgers at the Smith Center. He could also play off the bench, as he did in last Tuesday's 98-61 win over Marshall at home, after Williams pulled him from the starting lineup for the first time this season.
