Sports Fact of the Day 3/28/2007

3/28/1993:
North Carolina's superior size and bench strength wear down Cincinnati, and the Tar Heels prevail, 75-68, in overtime to win the NCAA East Regional. Although Cincinnati jumps out to a 29-14 lead, UNC forces a parade of fouls by the smaller Bearcats, resulting in a 25-9 free-throw-attempts advantage that ultimately decides the game. Caroline will go on to win the national title next week in New Orleans, beating Michigan in the finals
