Who would believe

Unless I missed something, the only team to lead the national champion North Carolina Tar Heels in the second half of the NCAA Tournament was an LSU basketball team with little expectations when the season began.

Of course, some will look back with a lot of what-ifs about that game.

As it turned out, though, LSU lost to the eventual national champion and probably gave the Tar Heels their biggest challenge in the tournament.

It isn't much solace for LSU. But it is something of an accomplishment.
