Brandan Wright, Heels rebound to win

Posted Mar 24, 2007

Thanks to freshman Brandan Wright's ability to rebound from a lackluster performance and his team's ability to rebound the basketball, top-seeded UNC is now a game away from the NCAA Final Four. Coming off a career-low three points against Michigan State, the lean power forward notched a team-high 21 points to help rally the Tar Heels from a 16-point second-half deficit and defeat USC 74-64 on Friday night.
