Brandan Wright keeps UNC on track

Posted Mar 11, 2007

College basketball players the size of Brandan Wright aren't supposed to be so coordinated. Most 6-foot-9 players generally run as if they are carrying 50-pound weights on their backs. But not Wright. The freshman ran up and down the hardwood like a deer in an open field in the Tar Heels' 71-56 victory over Boston College in the ACC Tournament semifinals. When Wright was done, he had 20 points. (Rocky Mount Telegram)
