UNC's absence from title game keeps things quiet in Chapel Hill

There will always be the what ifs in Chapel Hill. What if Kendall Marshall hadn't broken his right wrist against Creighton early in the NCAA tournament? What if Marshall had played against Kansas in the Elite Eight? For UNC fans, the last question has an easy answer. The Tar Heels would have taken care of Kansas. And they would have defeated Ohio State in the national semifinals. Maybe, just maybe, they would have beaten Kentucky in the title game. (Fayetteville Observer)
