Ginyard's defense spoils Redick's fun

Posted Mar 5, 2006

On Senior Night, J.J. Redick waved to his parents and waved to his finger-painted Duke classmates for the last time, but he couldn't wave off Marcus Ginyard. He couldn't shake him, either. North Carolina beat Duke 83-76 for many reasons, from Tyler Hansbrough's 27 points to Roy Williams' 27-carat coaching job all season long. Through all the dramas and theatrics, nothing mattered more than Ginyard's unrelenting defensive gem. (Winston-Salem Journal)
