Tar Heels Are Aged for Victory

Posted Mar 30, 2009
The Tar Heels won for the first time all season with forward Tyler Hansbrough, the defending player of the year, and shooting guard Wayne Ellington failing to score in double figures. That is how good the latest edition of the Tar Heels is – they can soundly beat a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament with two hands tied behind their back. These Tar Heels have proven the last two weekends that they are the team to beat for the crown. (AOL Fanhouse)
