Lucas: A Team Like This

Posted Mar 28, 2011
I feel a little cheated. We got only 51 days to watch this team play. And at the same time, 51 days was enough to completely change the way we think about them. John Henson transformed into the ACC Defensive Player of the Year and the National Defensive Player of the Year by multiple voters. Harrison Barnes heard students chant "O-ver-rated" at him in several ACC venues earlier this year. Now we'll remember his freshman year as one of the most clutch seasons in Carolina history.
