Visitors certainly feel disadvantaged playing in Charlotte

While North Carolina coach Roy Williams maintains that the [Charlotte] venue won't provide much of an advantage for the Tar Heels - he points to the fact that the team's two losses this season came at home as proof - Cardinals coach Rick Pitino referred to tonight as a "road game" during comments Friday. "Tell Roy to get on a plane for the first time and let's play the game at Freedom Hall (Louisville's home building) if he feels that way." (Burlington Times News)
