Wayne Ellington ready for Duke rematch

Posted Mar 7, 2008

There are a plethora of numbers on Wayne Ellington -- he has scored at least 12 points in 25 of 30 games -- but what makes him so special in the rematch with Duke is his big-shot potential when the game is on the line. Since the Duke game, Ellington has made 19 of 40 3-pointers. Ellington is a special player who may not score much during most of a game, then suddenly can take over with a hot hand.
