Curse of the Lions locker room strikes again

Posted Apr 5, 2009

The funk of the Detroit Lions' locker room has struck again. Connecticut lost to Michigan State on Saturday night in the Final Four, dropping basketball teams to 0-5 at Ford Field after using the locker room for the lowly NFL team that became the first with an 0-16 record last season. UNC would have dibs on the Lions' digs, as the top-seeded team in the matchup, but Tyler Hansbrough hopes the Tar Heels stay in the locker room they were in before and after beating Villanova.
