Posted Apr 7, 2009
Bobby Frasor remembers hearing it from the moment Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington and Danny Green announced on June 16 they were returning for the 2008-09 season instead of leaving for the NBA. Tyler Hansbrough, the reigning national player of the year, already had made it clear he was coming back to a team that reached the NCAA semifinals. Now the entire starting lineup was returning. The players understood what would be expected of them. Nothing less than a perfect season.
