North Carolina blows a huge leads and makes another early March Madness exit under Hubert Davis

North Carolina went from rolling to a 19-point lead to struggling to make a shot, watching that margin whittled away by a VCU team that refused to quit. Just like that, the Tar Heels were one-and-done in March Madness, their latest early exit under Hubert Davis. The Rams beat the Tar Heels 82-78 in overtime in Thursday's first round of the South Region, capping a season that showed high promise well into February only to be derailed by a major injury.
