So this is the year…
Year for what you ask? This is the year for NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship # 6 (’24, ’57, ’82, ’93, ’05, ’09) and ACC Championship #18. The Tar Heels have the most talented roster of any team in the country. At the end of the 2007-2008 season, the Tar Heel’s future looked bleak as their three top scorers were dialing in on the 2008 NBA Draft. Not long after the news was public, info was also given that the players would not hire agents which apparently allowed them to stay eligible for the next NCAA season. Well, as destiny would have it, they all three tested the NBA Draft waters and decided to return to Chapel Hill.
Our beloved Tar Heels are pre-ranked #1 in both the AP & USA Today Coaches’ Polls. Add to that pre-season rankings of #1 in the ACC (obviously in light of national rankings) and Tyler Hansborough picked as the pre-season Player of the year AND both Tyler “Psycho T” Hansborough and Ty Lawson as pre-season ALL ACC and what else could you say but National Championship BABYYYY! (Sounds better coming from Dickie V). Check this link for more. GO ‘HEELS!
