Dexter Strickland done for season with torn ACL
Posted Jan 20, 2012
North Carolina took a big blow to its championship hopes on Friday when the Tar Heels announced that starting guard Dexter Strickland was done for the season with a torn ACL. Strickland suffered the injury in Thursday’s win over Virginia Tech, when he planted going up for a shot early in the second half (pictured to the right). After the game, he said he didn’t think anything popped but it was sore.
