Magical Meadowlands

Posted Mar 25, 2007

The NCAA Tournament returned to the Meadowlands for a regional final for the 11th time this weekend. North Jersey has been a good path for the ACC, particularly Duke and North Carolina. Seven times the ACC has sent a Final Four team through East Rutherford. From Mike Krzyzewski's first Final Four, to Dean Smith's final national title, the magic of the Meadowlands is about the only thing both Duke and UNC can agree on. (Raleigh News & Observer)
