Sterling Manley's hometown of Pickerington, Ohio is a 20 minute drive from Nationwide Arena, where the No. 1 seed Tar Heels will face off with No. 16 seed Iona on Friday night. The homecoming was a surprise for Manley who, like many, expected that North Carolina would be playing in Columbia, S.C or Jacksonville, Fla. "It is a blessing to be able to come back home."
