Sweet Carolina Blues?

As winter begins to hit the country with its blustery weather and shorter and shorter days, we can all look forward to a new season of college basketball, which just kicked off. Tomorrow, viewers across the country get the pleasure of watching undoubtedly the best team in the country, the #1 North Carolina Tar Heels. Returning players include the ever quick Ty Lawson, pinpoint shooter Wayne Ellington, rebounding presence Marcus Ginyard, bench master Danny Green, and the man we all know as "Psycho T" Tyler Hansbrough. (Naismith Player of the Year in 2007) or the best player in the country to put it simply. As the Tarheels get set to take on the Kentucky Wildcats, who haven't started off well with a loss to VMI, the Tarheels get set to make yet another run at a national title as they seemingly always do. Why is this year any different you might ask? Well, experience is the answer. With the starting five all juniors or seniors, and in the last two years taking the team to the Elite 8 and the Final 4, the North Carolina Tar Heels are confident that this is the time to hang another banner up in those Dean Dome rafters. Besides, who can challenge the Heels this year? Kansas lost its talent as defending champion, Florida is still rebuilding, Duke and Pitt are waiting in the wings, UCLA is always lurking, but the point is, UNC is just too good right now for anyone. As it looks right now, expect flashes of the '05 season as Coach Roy Williams and the boys parading around Chapel Hill with another deserved title.
