Last year’s Final Four loss still bothers Heels
Posted Apr 1, 2009
All-American forward Tyler Hansbrough might not have returned for his senior season if the Tar Heels had beaten Kansas and gone on to win the national title. Likewise, forward Danny Green and guards Wayne Ellington and Ty Lawson might have moved on to the professional ranks a year early. Hansbrough admitted his decision to return was based, in part, on a desire to get UNC back to this point and beyond.
