Carolinas Conference tourney draws weak crowd. Guilford peers rise

Carr emerge as bright stars, while teams rely on individual names over collective appeal. The Jaycees push for a consolation game faces coach resistance. ACC tourney in Charlotte looms with South Carolina favored and potential upsets.
