Posted Mar 18, 2013
The Tar Heels got a tough draw in the NCAA tournament. On Friday, No. 8 seed UNC will battle No. 9 seed Villanova in Kansas City with the winner moving on to likely face top-seeded Kansas. “We (just might as well) go play them in Kansas…on their campus, we’re going to be so close to them,” Phil Ford says. “I think that’s a tough draw."
