North Carolina offers support to Wisconsin after overtime loss

North Carolina and Tar Heels fans know what it feels like to lose on a buzzer-beater in an elimination game.

Last year, Villanova's Kris Jenkins denied North Carolina its sixth national championship with a buzzer-beater 3-pointer, something Wisconsin can now relate to.

The Badgers saw their chance of making a third appearance in the Elite Eight in the last four years denied, after Florida guard Chris Chiozza tossed up a one-handed shot after jumping from behind the 3-point line to give the Gators a 84-83 victory.

North Carolina seems to be well versed in handling buzzer-beater losses and will bring the veggie tray next Thursday, while Wisconsin will supply the chips and salsa, and Kentucky from 1992 will bring the ice cream.
