Dexter Strickland Shines, Even In Loss

Posted Dec 20, 2010
Dexter Strickland tied a career-high with 18 points against Texas. Strickland may be the team's quickest player end to end with the ball in his hands. He provided a spark multiple times with quick slashes to the basket that led to easy lay-ups. He may also be regarded as perhaps the team's most athletic player, continuing to provide a highlight reel of dunks and quick moves to the basket. (Tar Heel Blue)
