 CLEVELAND (AP) - All that's missing is the national championship trophy. Nearly everything else about this NCAA regional screams Final Four.
There's the No. 1 team (North Carolina), and the program (Tennessee) every other one in America aspires to be. There are two Hall of Fame coaches (Pat Summitt and C. Vivian Stringer), who have combined for more than 1,600 victories and whose friendship stretches over four decades.
There's the only woman to dunk in an NCAA tournament game (Lady Vols center Candace Parker did it twice), the squad with some off-the-court issues (Purdue), and the Energizer bunny of a point guard (North Carolina's little Ivory Latta), who smiles at opponents as she speeds past them.
