CBS sticks it to Heels with late start time

Posted Mar 15, 2007

The men's basketball selection committee and CBS didn't cut UNC much slack in this NCAA Tournament. First, the committee tossed the Heels into a snake pit of a regional. Then CBS gave them a first-round starting time that only a traveling troupe of insomniacs would welcome. When the Tar Heels go off as the No. 1 East seeds against Eastern Kentucky tonight at 9:40, their road to the Final Four is steep and slippery. (Raleigh News & Observer)
