Family ties prepare UNC freshman Xylina McDaniel for ACC postseason
Posted Mar 4, 2013
When Xylina McDaniel takes the court at the ACC Women's Basketball Tournament in Greensboro this weekend, it will be a new experience for the UNC freshman. But don't expect her to be overwhelmed by the pressure of the postseason. She has a lifetime of basketball learned from her famous father. McDaniel, known as "Z" to teammates and coaches, is the X-Man's daughter.
