UNC says effort a problem vs. Duke
Posted Feb 10, 2008
It's hard to fathom, North Carolina not giving its all against Duke. So hard that UNC junior forward Marcus Ginyard doesn't have an explanation for why it happened. He just feels it's one of the reasons the Tar Heels lost 89-78 to the Blue Devils on Wednesday night. "It's difficult because that's one thing you should never have to explain -- a lack of effort," Ginyard said Friday.
