UNC 89, Michigan State 72. NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!

Go Heels!

I watched the game with my college roomie at the Dean Dome...great experience. The Dean Dome was literally shaking! Great experience, and I had great company.

The game, from a purist point of view, was not that exciting unless you wore the shade of Carolina Blue. The Heels dominated the first 10 minutes of the game, leading at one time by a score of 34-11. So how did the Heels do it?

1. Ty Lawson, Mr. Point guard. He was my pick for the Final Four MOP, especially since he had 7 steals in the first half. He is the best 5 foot 11 inch point guard of all time. Super strong, super fast, and super smart.
2. Wayne Ellington, Mr. Shooting guard. He's a deadly scorer. He won the MOP, and he has won the hearts of the Tar Heel Nation.
3. Psycho T....Mr. Intensity. I really believe that his presence makes everyone else on the court a better player.
4. Deon Thompson, Mr. Role player. He led the team the first 10 minutes of the game with his shooting touch and rebounding skills.
5. Roy Williams, Mr. UNC. His tenure at UNC has been more exciting than any other 6 years of Carolina basketball history. The man can recruit, he can motivate, and he can flat out coach.

I'd like to say goodbye to our Seniors.....they were all special. Frasor accepted his role off the bench, being regulated as a backup his last 3 years. Mike Copeland, who may not have played much, kept things loose in the locker room and on the bench. Danny Green, with his exciting play, could really hit the open 3 when the game is on the line. Tyler Hansbrough...not enough can be said about this Senior, so I will just say "Thank you" for his 4 years of service.

Ellington and Lawson are probably heading to the pros. We should accept this as their right, and just be thankful that they came back to UNC so we can get the National Championship.

Teamwork wins National Championships, and UNC had the best team concept in the college basketball this year.

Go HEELS!!!
