North Carolina: Championship or Bust

Posted Mar 29, 2008

The question forced Deon Thompson to stop and think. Would the 2007-08 season be considered a failure if it did not end with a national championship? "I, honestly, would think so," Thompson said. "If it doesn't end the way we want it to end, it'll be a failure." Wayne Ellington had an easier time with the question, but answered it in much the same way. "We're not going to be satisfied until we win a national championship." (Rocky Mount Telegram)
