closest game that they had. they did beat kansas. that was a game. it's interesting because the wildcats have only been underdogs in three games this season. okay. they lost to oklahoma at one point earlier in the year but they beat them here in the ncaa tournament they were under dogs against kansas and they were underdogs in this game. okay, the tar heels were three-point favorites they were able to get it done and speaking of three points, that's the difference in this game. and it was chris jenkins who had the game winning three and jenkins has a brother who plays for unc. so that

just kind of gave me that estimate looking at, you know, it's fluid when you got people coming out want not. but at this point it seems to be calm and people are just enjoying the fact that villanova the wildcats are number one. >> it's safe to say classes will be canceled tomorrow. >> no doubt about it. guys, pavilion holds at least 5,000 people. >> okay. >> i know they had about 4500 there for
