Goliath wasn't coming off a loss to Boston College. Unfortunately for the College of Charleston, the North Carolina Tar Heels sure didn't play like a last-place ACC team.

And it was one of the best basketball experiences the College of Charleston has had in Bobby Cremins' three seasons as head coach. (Charleston Post and Courier)
