Don't expect the tournament's overall No. 1 seed to get too comfy in the familiar surroundings of Raleigh's RBC Center for tonight's first-round game against Mount St. Mary's -- not with that massive NCAA logo staring at them at midcourt as a reminder that a season's worth of success can end with one bad performance.
"There's a different symbol on the court,"
North Carolina's Deon Thompson said, "so you're going to take it as something different."
North Carolina is 21-1 in NCAA Tournament games played in its home state.
