Russell Robinson ‘dreaming’ of shot at Tar Heels

Posted Jan 18, 2008

Russell Robinson said he’s been “dreaming of it (Kansas-UNC) for a while now. We’ve got the tools to do it this year. Hopefully the end result (is) we’ll be on top.” Senior Darnell Jackson also had his TV tuned into UNC-Tech. “I was rooting for Georgia Tech to pull a victory out. It didn’t happen that way.” I can’t predict the future,” Jackson said of a Kansas-UNC meeting in the NCAA Tournament. “If it happens, it happens." (Lawrence Journal-World)
