Tar Heels' future depends on lessons learned in the past

Posted Apr 9, 2008

The 2007-08 North Carolina Tar Heels were an excellent basketball team for 38 games. The problem is that a season filled with many successes will be remembered for what happened in the 39th contest. UNC should be one of the nation's top teams again next season and the clear favorite to win what should be an improved ACC. And if everyone returns (except senior Quentin Thomas), another Final Four run is likely. (Wilmington Star News)
