Packer: UNC more likely to make Final Four than Duke

Posted Mar 10, 2011
Billy Packer says he would be "a shocker" if Duke makes it to the 2011 men’s Final Four. If North Carolina does, however, Packer said it would be "no surprise at all." Of UNC, Packer said: "North Carolina has excellent balance. Kendall Marshall has such a high basketball IQ, and is such a good distributor at point guard, that he has made every man on that team half a man better." (Raleigh News & Observer)
