Tar Heels will be held to great expectations
Posted Apr 5, 2009
They can't lose now. But that's the problem for North Carolina's Tar Heels, the fate they sealed when they all decided to put off the NBA and come back for one more season. Tyler Hansbrough can't lose. Ty Lawson can't lose. Wayne Ellington and Danny Green can't lose. Fair or not, a loss is unacceptable for the Tar Heels, who toyed with and then dispatched Villanova, 83-69, in the Final Four nightcap Saturday at Ford Field.
