Kendall Marshall impressive, but Nolan Smith simply better
Posted Feb 10, 2011
So much for the idea that Kendall Marshall and Harrison Barnes would have a negative reaction to the Cameron Indoor Stadium experience. That theory was blown to bits in the first half as UNC opened up a 16-point lead over Duke thanks in large part to their impressive starts. Watching Marshall carve up the Blue Devils on their home court early on gave fans happy flashbacks of Ray Felton and Ty Lawson.
