Tyler Zeller's work on boards key element for Tar Heels

Posted Feb 3, 2012
Earlier this season, as Tyler Zeller leaked out of the lane too frequently for coach Roy Williams’ taste, the North Carolina coaching staff responded with less-than-subtle instructions. “We kept yelling at him over and over, ‘Get to the boards. Get to the boards,’ ” Williams said. Not only is Zeller heeding those orders and attacking the glass, he’s grabbing missed shots at a personally unprecedented rate. (Shelby Star)
