Top-seeded Carolina rolls by Mount St. Mary's

Playing in front of an obviously pro-Tar Heel crowd at nearby Raleigh, North Carolina breezed past play-in winner (16)Mount St. Mary's, 113-74.

The RBC Center, home of the North Carolina State Wolfpack, their in-state rivals, will host the Tar Heels in the first two rounds of the East Regionals. The Raleigh site is a short drive away from their Chapel Hill campus. The regional semis and finals will also be in-state, at the Charlotte Bobcats Arena, should UNC advance.

All-American Tyler Hansbrough and Tywon Lawson each had 21 points for the Heels.

Their second round matchup will be against (9)Arkansas Razorbacks on Monday morning (Manila time). The Hogs upset Indiana in the first round.
