Marshall plan works for Heels

Posted Feb 6, 2011
When freshman point guard Kendall Marshall replaced Larry Drew II in UNC's starting lineup last month, he admitted to being nervous. When he learned Friday that Drew had left the team and will transfer, leaving him as Tar Heels' only true ball-handler, Marshall said he was ready. "I've been joking around with my teammates, telling them to keep oxygen and water next to the bench," Marshall said, grinning before he sobered. (Raleigh News & Observer)
