The 12th-seeded North Carolina men's tennis team will play fifth-seeded Mississippi in the NCAA Tournament's round of 16 on Friday in Tulsa, Okla. Carolina defeated arch-rival Duke 4-2 at the indoor courts at UNC on Sunday to advance. Regardless of the outcome this weekend, no one can say this Carolina team has not been tested at the highest level. The Tar Heels have played a grueling schedule. (Chapel Hill News)
