ST. LOUIS (AP) - In case you missed it, three teams from North Carolina made the Sweet 16. Kansas beat one of them, North Carolina State, and if they get past the Tar Heels, STATS LLC says history gives them a 50-50 chance to win it all.

Eight teams have accomplished what the Jayhawks are trying to do, knock at least two North Carolina entries out the same tournament, and four of them went on to cut down the nets: Marquette beat Wake Forest, UNC-Charlotte and North Carolina in 1977; Louisville beat North Carolina and Duke in 1986; Arkansas beat North Carolina A&T and Duke in 1994; and if you believe in omens, Kansas beat Davidson and North Carolina en route to their 2008 title.

I just keep wanting to see more and more ptoohs. What a great shoot. I love the backgrounds (esp the perspective of the stairs). I bet they will never look at their porch again in the same way. Gorgeous, simply gorgeous work and I’ll 2nd that the love of this family shines through each shot. (tell G she MUST do a grouping)
