Now, being part of that thing called Carolina Basketball means understanding where you fit among those who came before you. In the summer, former players return for pickup games. The trash talk flows, but there is only one ultimate final word.
"The guys who come back from that '05 team, if you say anything to them, they just point at their title banner," Wayne Ellington said. "There's nothing you can say to that. That's why you come to North Carolina, to win championships."And let's hope we do just that. The stage is now set: all #1 seeds that spent most of the tournament crushing opponents. High stakes and great teams. I feel like this year's #1 seeds are substantially better than last year's. This year, the #1s have only 9 losses combined., compared to 18 combined losses among the #1 seeds last year before the tournament began. Whichever team can survive this Final Four certainly deserves the title.
