Lucas: Justice
That felt good. Carolina opened NCAA Tournament play by obliterating San Diego State in the First Four, rolling to a 95-68 victory that was not as close as the score indicated. After 51 hours of hate, it was a satisfying win. We'll get to that. But it was also a very, very good display of basketball. Carolina quite simply did everything better than San Diego State. (
