Marshall's Wrist

Going into the NCAA Tournament, UNC was considered a heavy favorite to win the national title, behind only Kentucky.  In terms of talent, the Heels were the only team that seemed to have a legitimate shot at knocking out the Wildcats in the title game.  That was all before point guard Kendall Marshall broke a bone in his wrist in a third round match up against the Creighton Blue Jays.  Marshall played through the pain and finished the game.  However, it wasn't until after the victory that Marshall realized something was wrong and the pain kept getting worse.  Later the night of the victory, he'd be diagnosed with a broken right wrist.  In the midst of a title run, the Heels have potentially lost the most irreplaceable player on their roster.  The general that averages nearly 10 assists per game and leads an offense that ranks second in the country in points per game could potentially miss the entire rest of the tournament and devastate any hopes a title Carolina fans around the country had hoped for after all the returning talent from last year's team.  While they may be able to take out Ohio in their Sweet 16 match up, I doubt Carolina has any hopes of a title as much as the next analyst you've likely seen talking about the subject on CBS and ESPN's family of networks.
