Dexter Strickland finishes off career of curveballs

Posted Mar 7, 2013
Dexter Strickland's college career has been defined by moments he couldn't anticipate. Some of them were painful. Some of them were bizarre. But each helped shape a player that's been a key part of the Tar Heels' success. "Like putting together a puzzle, (you've) got to put together all the pieces, can't just leave one out," Tar Heels coach Roy Williams said. "I think Dexter is a huge part of our puzzle."
