unc5corners.blogspot.com 3/8/2008 — I am having such a hard time thinking how to do a blog about this game that means so much to UNC tonight because of the sad loss we have had in the Carolina Family with the senseless killing of Eve Carson.

ESPN thought it'd be neat to do a feature on his which ...
