Lucas: UNC Basketball Mailbag
Posted Feb 9, 2010
It's still possible you will see a few current NBA players/coaches show up this weekend. Wayne Ellington and Ty Lawson will definitely be there Saturday, when their jerseys are honored during pregame of the NC State game. Tyler Hansbrough, who has been battling an inner ear infection that may include vertigo, will be in town Wednesday for his jersey retirement and hopes to stay for Friday's Celebration of a Century.
