Carolina 65 - Iowa State 70

No surprise, really. They haven't looked like the best team in the country yet this year. Certainly not, say, a Texas against Gonzaga. But it's early. They haven't had a team to really shine against, yet, either. Still would have won if they'd have kept it together late in the game. Losing actually may have been a better outcome for them in the long run. But that's an easy thing to say from the outside.

Not to take anything away from Iowa State--to whom big props. Nice win.

IC say.

Consolation 3rd-place game on Sunday vs. Bama.
