Dexter Strickland turns Carolina blue
Posted Jan 15, 2008
So there they were, Irv Gotti, the prominent hip hop producer, and Roy Williams, the coach of the nation's top-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels, getting along famously in the front row at Madison Square Garden on Sunday afternoon. Williams and Gotti chatted with adoring fans and smiled for photos, all the while watching as UNC recruit Dexter Strickland helped St. Patrick beat St. Raymond's (Bronx, N.Y.)
