Tyler Hansbrough wanted to stay [at UNC] simply because he was having too much fun. But he knew the decision was personal, and "I didn't talk to [my teammates] much during the process," said Hansbrough. "I didn't think we'd all be here to the end."

And just like that, the Tar Heels had gone from a good team to a super team.
