Nothing asssured for team that 'should' win

Posted Nov 10, 2011
Barring an injury epidemic, a wave of defections or the return of Larry Drew II to the Tar Heels' locker room, I think North Carolina will win the 2012 NCAA championship.But should UNC win it? Nope. Since the early 1970s, when a few programs began catching up to UCLA, no team has been good enough to shoulder the "should win" burden. (Raleigh News & Observer)
