Guards heart of Kentucky, North Carolina

Posted Mar 27, 2011
Amid all the star power of Kentucky and North Carolina, a pair of freshman point guards could tip the outcome today in the NCAA East Regional final. The Wildcats feature 6-3 Brandon Knight, who has hit the winning shot in two of Kentucky's three NCAA victories. The Tar Heels' point guard, 6-3 Kendall Marshall, hasn't drawn the national publicity of Knight but has played well since taking over the starting job 19 games ago. (Memphis Commercial Appeal)
