LIU coach disappointed with 15 seed


The Long Island University Blackbirds were disappointed upon learning they were seeded 15th and would face No. 2-seed North Carolina in Charlotte, a practical stone's throw from UNC's Chapel Hill campus. "I think we were just a little shocked. We didn't expect to be a 15 and play North Carolina," said senior Kyle Johnson. "We felt like we deserved a 14 seed at least." Blackbirds coach Jim Ferry echoed those sentiments. (ESPN.com)
