UNC realizes it needs more than offense to win title

Posted Nov 28, 2007

Toughness, defense, rebounding -- get used to hearing those words from Williams this year.

All but Ginyard are gone. The void up front is now being filled by two sophomores, Deon Thompson and Alex Stepheson. (Sports Illustrated)
