The nets have been cut down in the NCAA tournament and North Carolina came out on top. Coming back after a crushing defeat in the Semifinal game last year both Ty Lawson and Tyler Hansbrough chose to forgo the NBA Draft and return to win the national title. And they did just that. However it is tough to say they would have expected to cruise to the championship the way they did. The Tarheels did not face a #1 seeded team throughout the tournament. Furthermore they did not win a game by less than 12 points. In case you needed clarification that is udder domination.
Hansbrough and Lawson clearly made the right choice in coming back for one more season. The championship is the cap to Tyler Hansbrough's four year career in which he set the ACC record for points in a career surpassing J.J. Reddick. Experts feel that Hansbrough will not have a fruitful NBA career but that is yet to be seen. During the tournament Ty Lawson put on a clinic. His star rose immensley in the eyes of NBA teams looking for a point guard.
Despite not beating a #1 seed, North Carolina grabbed the competition by the throat and did not let up till the final buzzer was sound. Welcome back to dominance.
