Georgetown Loss Still Haunts Tar Heels As They Prepare for Season

Posted Oct 12, 2007

“Our season started,” wing Marcus Ginyard said, “the day after we lost to Georgetown.” Carolina led by 10 minutes with less than 7 minutes left and lost in overtime, 96-84. It was a stunned, somber Tar Heel team that exited the court that night in East Rutherford, N.J., in the third round of the tournament. What happened that night has nagged at Carolina in the past months. (WRAL.com)
