Tar Heels face battle-tested Tigers Posted Mar 17, 2017 Texas Southern prepared for this day. The Tigers didn’t play a home game until January. They traveled to Arizona, Baylor and Louisville. They crushed the Southwest Athletic Conference. Call the No. 16 Tigers the David to top-seeded North Carolina’s Goliath in this year’s NCAA Tournament. Please. It’s a compliment.
