Tar Heels grateful to play in NIT

Posted Mar 16, 2010
Marcus Ginyard is relieved and grateful to have the chance to keep playing at UNC. It doesn't matter that the reigning national champions are reduced to playing in the NIT. "I'm just really excited for another opportunity to play," the fifth-year senior said. "I'm just hoping we finish this off better than we did the regular season." These are strange days around the storied program with five NCAA titles, 18 Final Fours and so many famous players. (Salisbury Post)
