College Hoops: Nothin’ Could Be Finer Than to Be in Carolina

After the final horn sounded Monday night, both NCAA Basketball titles rested in the Carolinas.  The South Carolina Gamecock women claimed the national title over Mississippi St. in an all-SEC affair on Sunday, and then Monday night the North Carolina Tar Heels became kings of the basketball world on the men’s side for the sixth time by topping once beaten Gonzaga.
