Posted Mar 21, 2008
Wayne Ellington wasted no time laying the Tar Heels’ lofty expectations on the interview table Thursday. The nation’s top-ranked team expects much more than last year, when the Tar Heels lost to Georgetown in the Elite Eight. Their goal is the Final Four. Nothing else would be acceptable. “We’ve been through this before and we know what it takes,” Ellington said. “So for us not to get farther than we did last year, yeah, it would be a disappointment.”
