DENVER — If the enemy of your enemy is your friend, what the heck does that make Creighton to N.C. State?
Roy Williams could only laugh at the question.
It’s been 11 years since the Bluejays essentially knocked North Carolina out of the NCAA Tournament in Greensboro, a second-round win for the top-seeded Tar Heels that cost them Kendall Marshall and any chance to beat Kansas in the regional final and play for a national title. The recriminations from that game — and what UNC fans believed was Creighton’s alleged dirty play — still linger all these years later.
