North Carolina team not worried about Wright's quiet game
Posted Mar 21, 2007
Brandan Wright spent an entire season defying the notion that freshmen are destined to be full of ups and downs. That's why his UNC teammates aren't worried. Stymied by foul trouble and a physical Michigan State defense, Wright finished with a season-low three points. While Tyler Hansbrough and Ty Lawson carried the Tar Heels into the round of 16, North Carolina needs its 6-foot-9 freshman to quickly regain his form.
