You expecting a warm reception over in Raleigh on Saturday? “Oh, man, they're going to love me,” Dexter Strickland said with a laugh. “I hope I get a standing ovation over there.” Strickland, who called N.C. State “the least of our worries” during the preseason, will help lead UNC (13-5, 3-2) into PNC Arena to face the 18th-ranked Wolfpack (15-4, 4-2). (Fayetteville Observer)
