Dexter Strickland ready to make the most of homecoming trip

Posted Mar 25, 2011
This is Dexter Strickland's homecoming, and nothing is going to stop him from making the most of it. Not even a slightly torn meniscus in his right knee. Strickland, a Rahway native and starting guard on the UNC basketball team, is gutting out the NCAA Tournament's East Regional. But don't expect to see him limping around when the Tar Heels take on Marquette in tonight's first semifinal at the Prudential Center. (Asbury Park Press)
