Heels say that loss to Kansas in semis last year still hurts
Posted Mar 31, 2009
Very little upsets easy-going Danny Green, but one memory has gnawed at him often in the last year. And he's not alone among his UNC teammates. Last April, Kansas flattened UNC in the national semifinals of the NCAA Tournament, racing to a 40-12 lead on the way to an 84-66 decision. Green said that returning to the Final Four to make amends for last season's finish was the sole motivating force for UNC's returning veterans.
