UNC's Drew earns biscuits, breaks streak

CHAPEL HILL — Freshman point guard Larry Drew II was pleased to score the 100th point of UNC's 108-70 win over College of Charleston on Wednesday, thus earning fans the two-sausage-biscuits special.

"You always hear them screaming for the biscuits, and don't blame 'em, biscuits is cool,'' he said.

But his breakaway layup with 3:51 left was noteworthy for another reason, too: It marked the first time since Dec. 6, 1977 that the Cougars allowed an opponent to score in triple digits. That span of 951 games was the second-longest such streak in the nation.

"It's funny, because before the game, during shootaround, everyone was dunking, I was dunking -- nobody really sees me dunk a lot. ... So when I broke away, everyone was like, 'dunk it, dunk it, dunk it,' but I was so tired, I don't think I could have got up [to the rim],'' Drew said. "I think that was what was more in my mind, than the 100 points."
