With senior night done, stakes get high for Tar Heels

Posted Feb 29, 2012
As the Smith Center stands began to empty, the Tar Heels huddled as a team at center court. Point guard Kendall Marshall was in the middle, barking at his teammates. His message was simple: Enjoy this tonight. "It's a special moment for those five guys on our team to play their last game on the Smith Center court," Marshall said. "But at the same time, we have bigger goals ahead of us." (Fayetteville Observer)
