NCAA Thursday UNC Press Conference (w/audio)

Posted Mar 24, 2011
"[Dexter Strickland is] a wonderful kid and a wonderful athlete. And he did some really good things for us. And then this year started, we played him at the two spot. He started for us every game, I think. He developed into our best perimeter defender. Uses his speed and quickness to really be a good player for us on the defensive end of the floor. When we get out and run, he is unbelievably quick with the ball." (Inside Carolina)
