CHARLOTTE—You are here to read about the freshman who did something incredible this week. Of course you are. This is the ACC Tournament. He has been on television. He has been on the internet. Thursday night, he performed well in his team's quarterfinal game and then had to answer questions from a swarm of reporters, all of whom wanted to know how he could have possibly done it.
We are talking, of course, about Nassir Little. And the "swarm" was one person, but I'm rangy.
Little had six rebounds in 15 minutes in Thursday's win over Louisville, giving him more rebounds per minute than any Tar Heel who played in the game.
