Lucas: March 22 Flashback

P.J. Hairston got most of the attention after Carolina's 78-71 win over Villanova in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on March 22, 2013, but it was Reggie Bullock who did the best job of summarizing the moment.

The victory over the Wildcats was important because it preserved Williams' personal streak of having never lost his opening NCAA Tournament game, and it was important for that year's team because it advanced them into a matchup with Kansas for the second straight year. The eighth-seeded Tar Heels would fall to the top-seeded Jayhawks two days later, the third time in six seasons the season would end against Kansas.
