Huskies face tough task against North Carolina in Charlotte

Posted Mar 19, 2011
One person comes to mind when Isaiah Thomas thinks of North Carolina. Michael Jordan. "The best player to ever play the game went there," said Washington's junior co-captain. That's what happens when teams play the Tar Heels. The game is bigger than a game and something akin to a lifelong dream for teams like seventh-seeded Washington, which takes on No. 2 seed UNC in the third round of the NCAA tournament's East Regional.
