Unheralded Noel left his mark at UNC

Posted Mar 20, 2006

David Noel hurriedly walked off the court at the University of Dayton Arena on Sunday, fighting back tears. The senior had just concluded his final game at North Carolina, a disappointing 65-60 loss to George Mason in the second round of the NCAA tournament. And for Noel, the final 40 minutes of his college career was a snapshot of his entire four-years in Chapel Hill. (Wilmington Star News)
