Roy Williams' talented youngsters are growing up quickly. Brandan Wright had 19 points and fellow rookie Wayne Ellington scored 17 to help No. 2 North Carolina beat Rutgers 87-48 Thursday night, giving the Tar Heels their eighth straight win behind another strong performance from their freshmen. In addition to Wright and Ellington, the Tar Heels (11-1) got a stellar floor game from point guard Ty Lawson. (Tar Heel Blue)
