VIDEO: North Carolina players prank freshmen before practice

Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports

With the NCAA tournament set to begin Thursday, most people might figure North Carolina would be a little nervous.

They would be wrong.

Roy Williams and the Tar Heels played a trick on the squad's three freshmen before practice Wednesday, letting them run onto the court alone while the rest of the team hid in the tunnel.

Florida Gulf Coast awaits North Carolina on Thursday, and the Tar Heels will look to avoid being the first No. 1 seed to lose to a No. 16 in tournament history.
