"This is the most talented team in the tournament. Tyler Zeller, John Henson and Harrison Barnes form the best frontcourt in the country, and point guard Kendall Marshall holds it together."
That was Jake's Take on the North Carolina Tar Heels basketball team prior to the tournament. In tonight's 87-73 win over Creighton, which moves them on to the sweet sixteen round, that point guard glue that holds it all together for the Tar Heels sustained what appears to be a broken wrist and his availability is questionable for their next game.
And who's waiting in the wings to test the Tar Heels glue? Who else but Cinderella 2012, the #13 seeded Ohio Bobcats who've beaten #4 seed Michigan and #10 seed Purdue.
The Bobcats of Athens, Ohio are more than happy with their lucky #13 slot. They're only the 7th team seeded 13 or lower to reach the sweet sixteen since the tournament's expansion to 64 teams in 1985. They'll go marching into the ball playing their century old school fight song "Stand Up And Cheer."
Tune in to see if they give their green clad fans something to really stand up and cheer about. The Madness of March Marches On!
