The North Carolina Tarheels




These North Carolina Tarheels are a big passion of mine. Throughout my life I had always been told that Carolina is the best. My Dad went there, my grandfather went there, my uncle went there, my aunt went there, my cousin went there, and several other family members as well. I guess that the love began early in my life. I remember watching games against Duke, etc. throughout my younger years and now I have continued that tradition in my 20's. I think that Carolina has a lot of rhythm, speed, and of course a fabulous coach! This coach though comes after a legend, Dean Smith. I thought that the world was going to fall apart when Coach Dean Smith retired. He definitely was like a father to the basketball team and he led them to many wins. I think that this championship in 2009 was the 5th NCAA championship title that they have won and they have been to the final four 18 times. I think that this is the most that any team has gone to the tournament. Woohoo!


Commentary
North Carolina set first-half records for points and the biggest lead in an NCAA championship game in pulling away to a 89-72 victory over Michigan State on Monday night. Wayne Ellington was 7-for-9 from the field in the first half, including making all three of his 3-point attempts, and had 15 points for UNC, which shot 54.8 percent in the half.
I think that UNC deserved this more than any other team. They have worked hard and are #1.
