We did it babyyyy! North Carolina won the 2009 National Championship. The second that I heard all five of our starters were foregoing the 2008 NBA Draft to come back to school, I knew that we would win it. Truely, I was hoping for a perfect season, but some injuries and poor play led to four ACC losses. But in the end, it doesn't really matter. We won it all, and that's that. T-Bro won his Championship, and Lawson showed that he is our MVP. It was a fantastic season, and I couldn't be more proud of our guys. Danny Green and T-Bro are graduating, as well as Bobby Frasor and some others, but if Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington decide to come back for next season, I gotta believe that we would be the favorites to win it all again. Lawson was the MVP, and we can't really survive without him, and Wayne was Final Four MOP, and is by far the best shooter on the team, and showed it by being lights-out during the tourney. If them two come back, along with Ed Davis, Deon Thompson, and others, we should be looking pretty good for next year. If not, then we will still be decent, but probably not a Championship contender. Also, I really like Tyler Zeller, and think that he was by far the best freshman in the country, but he didn't really get that much time because he was on the best team in the nation with an established lineup, and he missed over half the season with that broken wrist he suffered in like the second game. To me, he seemed like a Handbrough succeedor, and a good one at that. Anyways, when the season started, I knew that it would be a disappointment with anything less than a national championship, and we were able to deliver. Great season boys. TAR HEELS NATIONAL CHAMPS 2009!!
