Healthy at last, Tyler Zeller emerges as UNC standout

Posted Jan 13, 2011
After two injury-plagued seasons, Tyler Zeller has emerged as the Tar Heels' top scorer. The 7-foot, 250-pound junior center will pose plenty of problems for Virginia Tech when the Hokies visit UNC (11-4, 1-0 ACC) tonight. "This has been a great thing for us, for him to be healthy and be able to step up and do the things he's done," UNC coach Roy Williams said. "He's a great leader for our team." (Roanoke Times)
