The Most Outstanding Player of the 2005 Final Four, Sean May’s performance over the final two months of that season may have been the best stretch by a Tar Heel ever. He capped the regular season with a 26-point, 24-rebound effort in a thrilling win over Duke. May was the Sports Illustrated National Player of the Year and was a first-team All-America.
