Heels at home in city of the "Blues"

Posted Mar 27, 2009
If North Carolina is supposed to feel the pressure of playing for a NCAA championship, someone needs to remind them. The Heels locker room was relaxed, in fact there seemed to be more concern over a game of spades that was being played than tomorrow’s “Sweet Sixteen” match-up with Gonzaga. Of course the players are aware of the stakes, but as Danny Green told me, tomorrow will be a different feeling. (WRAL Sports Fan)
