Tar Heels swingman Ginyard out 8 weeks (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

North Carolina's pursuit of a return to the Final Four is off to a bumpy start. Senior Marcus Ginyard will miss eight weeks after having surgery to repair a stress fracture in his left foot, robbing the Tar Heels of their do-everything swingman who started every game last season. During surgery Wednesday morning, doctors inserted a screw in the fifth metatarsal of his left foot.
