The Tarheels enter the first round of the tournament tonight against a fairly favorable opponent. They still shouldn't take this team too lightly. Murray State is 24-6 overall. None of their starting five seem to be a scoring threat so that's an advantage for UNC. All eyes will be on freshman Tyler Hansbrough, who will expect to get a lot of touches inside and carry most of the scoring load. Carolina's definitely got the outside shooting edge with Reyshaun Terry and Wes Miller.
If the bench can contribute well with Hansbrough, Terry, and David Noel staying out of foul trouble tonight, Carolina should be in good shape. Though, anything can happen in the second half. Underdog teams have been known to catch fire from the field and beyond the arc. The seniors on both squads will give an all-out effort, wanting to continue the tournament and relish the moments of their final year.
March Madness has just begun to heat up. It's going to be intense coming down the stretch to the Sweet 16 and Final 4. Catch all the news, scores, stats, brackett, and live tournament coverage at:
