- Andrew Carter of the (Raleigh) News Observer writes that the Triangle’s men’s basketball teams, including UNC, will have the challenge of facing unfamiliar opponents in the early rounds of the 2013 NCAA tournament.
- Carter also takes an in-depth look at UNC’s first round opponent – Villanova – in his latest “UNC Now” blog post.
- GoHeels.com’s Adam Lucas writes that the last time UNC was a No. 8 in the South Region of the NCAA tournament, the Tar Heels made an unexpected run to the Final Four.
