Confident Quentin Thomas takes over as point guard

Posted Feb 5, 2008

When UNC point guard Ty Lawson limped off the court Sunday night, senior Quentin Thomas preferred to see it as a "challenge" rather than an "opportunity." Whatever the wording, he'll likely face the biggest test of his college basketball career Wednesday night. Coach Roy Williams said "I don't think the chances are real good that Ty would play" when the third-ranked Tar Heels face No. 2 Duke on Wednesday. (Raleigh News & Observer)
