Tar Heels Triumph over Spartans It's tempting to say this thing was over on June 16, 2008. That's the day the last of the Tar Heels' potential NBA draft picks announced they were going back to school -- Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington and Danny Green joining Tyler Hansbrough for one more fling at a ring. It's tempting to say that from that moment on, it was game over for the 2008-09 college basketball season. Tempting, but wrong. That would fail to give Carolina credit for the journey from June to now. Believe it or not, there was some work involved -- some sweat, some anxiety -- in going from landslide favorite to landslide winner of a national title. "It was one of the hardest years I've ever had in coaching," Roy Williams said after his Tar Heels throttled Michigan State 89-72, the largest title-game margin in 17 years. Chalking this championship up as an inevitability would discount the angst associated with preseason player of the year Hansbrough missing the start of the season with a stress reaction in his leg. It would overlook the season-ending injury to defensive ace Marcus Ginyard and the 24 games missed by freshman Tyler Zeller. It would gloss over the games Lawson missed at season's end with an injured toe. |
