Lucas: Ellington's Eye-Catching Night
Posted Jan 3, 2008
The first time Wayne Ellington made a wow-worthy play on Wednesday night, Roy Williams had to catch it out of the corner of his eye. Ellington heaved in a 25-foot jumper at the halftime buzzer to provide Carolina's 44-32 halftime margin over Kent State. The shot was nice, of course, but it was also an impressively disciplined play; many players would have caught the inbounds pass with four seconds left and jacked up a desperation shot upon reaching midcourt.
