Johnson-Odom targets the Tar Heels

Posted Mar 24, 2011
Growing up in Raleigh, N.C., Darius Johnson-Odom was well-versed in ACC basketball. He was also a fan, as many youngsters are in the area, of the North Carolina Tar Heels. And while he gets his first crack at the Tar Heels as a collegian Friday at the Prudential Center when his Golden Eagles take the floor for their first Sweet 16 game since 2003, Johnson-Odom won't be looking to settle any scores.
