Freshman David Muellerweiss isn't 6 feet 11 inches tall like UNC basketball player Damion Grant.
He can't dunk like Rashad McCants, and he lacks Raymond Felton's ballhandling ability. But unlike Grant, McCants, Felton and the rest of the UNC men's basketball team, Muellerweiss is playing in the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament.
Sort of.
On Friday night at a Hooters restaurant in New Orleans, Muellerweiss will compete in the semifinals of Xbox Live Hoop Madness, an Xbox Live basketball tournament that mirrors the real NCAA tourney. If he wins, he will go on to play in the championship match Sunday. At stake are $1,000 and tickets to the 2003 NCAA men's basketball championship game.
