Barring a medical miracle, Kendall Marshall won’t be ready Friday

Posted Mar 22, 2012
To listen to Roy Williams, there’s no way Kendall Marshall is going to be ready to play for the Tar Heels in Friday’s NCAA Midwest Region semifinal against Ohio. “If he comes into my room tomorrow and says ‘My wrist feels great’ drops down to the floor and does 10 right-handed pushups, then I’ll say I’ll probably play his rear end,” Williams said Thursday. “But I don’t expect that to happen. I mean, the guy can’t brush his teeth right now.” (Wilmington Star News)
