Brandan Wright can't have another bad game

Posted Mar 20, 2007

Roy Williams said before Saturday's Michigan State game that freshman forward Brandan Wright better grow up in a hurry. "This will be the most physical game he has played in his entire life," Williams said. "They will want to take care of that skinny freshman from North Carolina." It turns out Michigan State did take care of him. If it happens again, I don't think the Tar Heels will survive in this tournament. He is too essential. (Charlotte Observer)
