I still like the Tar Heels

Play of the Day: Obama shoots hoops with Tar Heels

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - For all his basketball skills, Barack Obama was out of his league.

The Democratic presidential candidate played hoops with the University of North Carolina team on Tuesday, a Final Four squad that cut the 46-year-old some slack.
...The Illinois senator is a workout enthusiast, and basketball is his chosen game. He decided to open his day with the Tar Heels, including star Tyler Hansbrough, a 6-foot-9 All-American who spent part of his morning guarding Obama.

Is that their punishment for losing the Final Four?

I wonder how much college players really enjoy the public grandstanding that comes with a leading presidential candidate coming to shoot hoops.

I have to say I'd rather play with Barack than with Hillary or McCain. Can you imagine what either alternative would look like?
