Tudor's Take: Tar Heels draw tough path

Posted Mar 13, 2011
North Carolina's loss to Duke in the ACC championship game this afternoon turned out to be a big problem in the NCAA pairings. As the No. 2 seed in the East, the Tar Heels do get to start in Charlotte. But if the top four seeds advance to the regional semifinals in Newark, N.J. (March 25 and 27), the chalk pairings would be UNC vs. Syracuse (3) and Ohio State (1) against Kentucky (4). (Raleigh News & Observer)
