A year ago we were all in Blue Heaven. UNC won a 2nd national title in five years. Roy Williams seemingly had a train rolling that no one was going to slow down. In fact we were all so [...] Continue reading Coping With a Duke National Title We hold out hope that Butler figures out how to stop Duke from reigning threes down on them or better yet Duke shoots 2-25 from behind the arc.

Okay 2010 Heels, your title defense begins now. CBS College Sports was in the locker room following the NCAA title game and filmed Roy Williams’ speech to the team.

North Carolina basketball is [...] Continue reading Roy’s Postgame Speech To The Players Friend of the blog Zeke Smith is back with some great photos.
