North Carolina will be packing its bags the week before Thanksgiving next season, too. The Tar Heels will be one of eight teams participating in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off; they will play on Nov. 18, 19 and 21. They will be joined by Davidson, Hofstra, Minnesota, Nebraska, Vanderbilt, West Virginia and Western Kentucky.
On Thursday night, the Madison Square Garden public address guy had to correct himself in the first half when he announced the first Wear twin to enter the game. Friday night, he got it right the first time. (It was Travis.)
With about 16 minutes left, UNC senior Marcus Ginyard drove to the basket, collided with Syracuse forward Arinze Onuaku, fell to the floor, and was slow to get up. He returned to the game, and had an ice pack on his side afterwards."Two-sixty met 210," Ginyard explained. "I just got big-boyed."
Ginyard made the all-tournament team, along with Syracuse's Andy Rautins, Ohio State's Evan Turner and California's Jerome Randle. Syracuse's Wesley Johnson was named the tournament MVP.
