 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Soon after Oakland finished a surprising run through the Mid-Continent Conference tournament, coach Greg Kampe began thinking about North Carolina.
Keep in mind this was nearly a week before the NCAA tournament pairings were announced, and long before the Golden Grizzlies were slotted for the play-in game. At the time, despite a 12-18 record, various computer rankings had them high enough where a 14th seed was possible.
That wasn't what Kampe wanted. He wanted to be the ultimate underdog. He wanted to be a No. 16 seed, with a chance to go through the opening round and face the Tar Heels.
