Tar Heels vs. Cardinals: Clash of the titans

Posted Mar 29, 2008

Marcus Ginyard remembers how the locker room felt last season, when a second-half collapse sent Georgetown to the Final Four and left the Tar Heels wondering what went wrong. The memories have stayed with UNC all season as it fought its way to the tournament's No. 1 overall seed. The Tar Heels are back in the round of eight. And just like last year, a tough and physical Big East team -- this time Rick Pitino-led Louisville -- stands between them and the Final Four. (Chicago Sun-Times)
