Rep. Thomas Wright will be starting March Madness Thursday.
The Wilmington Democrat heads into a face-off with Reps. Rick Glazier and Paul Stam, both No. 1 seeds in the Democratic and Republican conferences.
The odds are stacked against Wright, especially now that former coach Jim Black has left his side.
Still, the game's not over until it's over. One of Wright's top players, N.C. Central star Irv Joyner, told the Wilmington Star-News that he hopes to challenge the legislature in a rematch before the state Supreme Court.
He also tried to work the refs a little in advance of the Big Dance:
"This body has already determined that they want him out of there," Joyner said. "I'm of the opinion that once they vote to do that, it is going to be final unless the (N.C.) Supreme Court invalidates what they did."
Now that is what we call a wild card.
