Big dance new to most Tar Heels
Posted Mar 17, 2011
Tyler Zeller and Justin Watts will be the only Tar Heels with NCAA Tournament experience when UNC faces Long Island University in Charlotte on Friday (7:15 p.m., CBS), but even the juniors have limited familiarity with the tournament. Zeller and Watts played a combined 50 minutes in 2009 and have never lost in the tournament, as UNC won its fifth national championship that year.
