Posted Apr 30, 2009
Governor Beverly Perdue gave the men's basketball team at UNC a hero's welcome to celebrate their national championship. Tar Heel players including Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson and Danny Green joined Coach Roy Williams and staff as they were honored in floor sessions. The team then went to the Executive Mansion for lemonade and cookies with Perdue. The Tar Heels won the NCAA title three weeks ago by beating Michigan State.
