To build confidence last season, North Carolina guard Bobby Frasor went to the bookshelf, grabbing a copy of “Mind Gym” by Gary Mack. The motivational paperback has become a bible of sorts to athletes like Frasor who are eager to absorb important psychological lessons on competitiveness, commitment and composure. Frasor will need all of those things in bulk now after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee Thursday night in a win over Nevada. His junior season is now over and he faces a long and demanding rehabilitation process.

Last year he was the Mid-Continent Conference's most accurate 3-point shooter and the first freshman since Lubos Barton in 1998-99 to lead Valparaiso University in scoring. This year he has already broken associate head coach Bryce Drew's record for 3-pointers in a game, hitting 10 in a 90-61 win against Chicago State earlier this month. So it's scary to think there was a time when Sam Haanpaa wasn't even the best shooter in his family.
