Lucas: Rapid Reactions

1. Great to see the very happy reaction from the Tar Heels when they were announced as the third number-one seed. It's obvious the players feel like they accomplished something, while also knowing there is more to come.

2. If you travel back in time to Jan. 12, there is no way you believed this Carolina team would earn a number-one seed. Before you get too focused on matchups and brackets, take just a second to appreciate how remarkable it is how far they've come.

3. Now, about that bracket. Iona is a good team. The Tar Heels will have a good source for information on the Gaels, as Iona plays in the same conference with King Rice's Monmouth club.
