Quentin Thomas pens UNC's feel-good story

Posted Mar 4, 2008

Whenever Quentin Thomas grew frustrated over the last four seasons, he called his parents. Then he talked to God. And if he still needed soothing, the North Carolina point guard grabbed the nearest notebook. "Any time there was a time like, 'I don't know how I'm going to get through this,' besides talking to family and praying, I'd get a pen and a pad and just write, just write, just write,'' Thomas said.
