Where the hell is lipscomb from

Answer: Lipscomb is in Nashville, Tennessee.

The school entered the game against the Tar Heels as 20-point underdogs, so it was a shock to see the game so tight for the early goings of the game. But North Carolina ended the first half on a 12-1 run to pull away a bit, assuaging much of the fear of the Tar Heel faithful.
