Former North Carolina basketball walk-on Webb Tyndall can't help but feel a bit of deja vu. Twelve years ago, he was part of another highly heralded Tar Heel team, one that left Charlottesville, Va., a shocking 0-3 in the ACC for the first time in school history. That 1996-97 squad eventually turned it around, capping legendary coach Dean Smith's final season with 16 consecutive wins to advance to the Final Four. (Raleigh News & Observer)
