Legendary ACC Team No. 8: 2009 North Carolina
Posted May 27, 2009
The 1993 North Carolina team was on a mission to win the national championship, and it did. But the 2009 Tar Heels may have been even more intent on their mission to win this year’s college crown. Tyler Hansbrough returned to college to win a national title, and Wayne Ellington, Ty Lawson and Danny Green also went back to school in part to cut down the nets.
