Ellington knows what to expect at Palestra
Posted Dec 4, 2007
Wayne Ellington has warned his Tar Heels teammates about playing Penn at the Palestra tonight. "The Philly atmosphere. How close everybody is on the court," said Ellington, who played twice at the Palestra for Episcopal Academy as a senior in 2006. Now the No. 2 scorer for the No. 1 team in the country, Ellington, a sophomore, is coming home - thanks, in large part, to coach Roy Williams' tradition of taking players back to their roots.
