Long-awaited lineup change works wonders for UNC
Posted Jan 19, 2011
After weeks of being prodded and cajoled, coach Roy Williams finally gave in and started freshman Kendall Marshall at point guard in place of junior Larry Drew II. It’s a switch that, for one game at least, worked out better than anyone could have imagined. Not only did Marshall give the Tar Heels the immediate jolt of energy they needed, but Drew came off the bench to play one of his best games of the season.
