Today is Media Day for the the 2009-10 basketball season. Practice officially kicks off tomorrow at UNC’s Late Night with Roy festivities. Before we delve into the season ahead, let’s take one more look back at the 2009 National Champions.
Okay 2010 Heels, your title defense begins now.

The Heels will have teams that are equally and, possibly, more talented than last year’s version. What we are unlikely to see for a long time is a team that turns the NCAAT into it’s own, private, invitational.
That was a special as it gets…
I still can’t make it through that without crying.
We still have the 6 tournament games on the DVR. Have watched them all more times than I think is probably sane. What a team and what domination of the NCAA tournament! I can’t get them out of my head nor do I want to.
I still get chills watching Tywon Lawson’s competetive juices on this championship run. Here is a guy who has had his guts tested, criticized, and publicly written about his whole tenure at UNC. He responds to the critics by beating Duke twice (largely because of him), and coming out during the 2nd half of the LSU game (injured) to put on a display of intestinal fortitude to secure UNC’s victory. Also, he sets a record for steals in the National Title game. If you hadn’t noticed, steals do not come easy, and are a result of hard work, and the sacrificing of one’s body to secure possession.
HECK YES! This going to be a FANTASTIC season! Let’s go out there and get Roy his third!
JB, Nail on the head. We owe so much to Lawson. I have never seen a guy so fast with the ball.
Anyone notice at 1:13, Davis was blocking a shot, had his elbow at the rim coming down. Gonna be a fun year.
I watched the 1st half of the Michigan State game the other night (to help with my depression following the Virginia football game) and it was just amazing to watch.
Hopefully, Roy has silenced his critics about being able to develop talent and his abilities as a bench coach. For example, Hansbrough became a passing threat over the last few weeks of the season, Wayne was the assasin and Lawson was simply the best player on the court, no doubt driven by Roy for 3 years to play at the level we saw in that tourney. Deon was fabulous on both ends of the court and I REALLY look forward to watching the Deon/ED tandem.
