Buckeyes challenge Tar Heels

Posted Nov 29, 2006

North Carolina coach Roy Williams said he never thought the NBA would pass a rule requiring its players to be 19 and a year removed from high school, so he only recruited high school star Greg Oden "a little bit." Can you imagine if Williams had snagged him, too? Even with Ohio State's 7-footer sidelined while rehabilitating his right wrist, tonight's ACC-Big Ten Challenge, pitting the No. 3 Buckeyes at No. 7 UNC, will feature one of the largest collections of rookie talent on any floor this season.
