The clock struck midnight on Cinderella, and she said “But I still want to dance.”  And unlike the fairy tale, the dance continued for 5 minutes.  But in the end, the result was the same.  Cinderella’s dance was over – and in this fairy tale, number 1 seed UNC survives to play another day.

Don’t know if the extra 2 days of healing will be enough for Kendall Marshall – but the Tar Heels should hope for it – because they did not look anywhere close to the same team without Marshall steering the ship.  Then again, part of that has to be also because of an incredibly well played game by the Ohio Bobcats.

And then there was one – with the losses by Xavier and Ohio, the only double digit left in the tournament is North Carolina State.  Will the Wolfpack be able to fit into the glass slipper, or will Kansas send our last Cinderella home.
