Tar Heels expanding repertoire, and that's bad for everyone else

Posted Jan 11, 2012
Kendall Marshall is the assist man. Dexter Strickland plays lock-down defense and finishes fast breaks. In the 17th game, though, Marshall and Strickland broke loose. The duo combined for 26 points on 12-of-16 shooting from the floor in Carolina’s dominating 73-56 win against Miami. To put this offensive outburst in perspective, Strickland’s 14 points matched his season-high, and Marshall’s five field goals set a career best. (Sporting News)
