By the first media timeout, Deon had scored, Wayne had hit an underhand scoop layup and made it "Wayne" from 3 point land – and the Boys were up 17-7 in the blink of an eye.
By halftime, we had scored 55 points (most in tournament history), and the Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player – Wayne Ellington – had 17 of his eventual 19 points. Ty Lawson – ACC Player of the Year – led ALL scorers with 21 points and set a tournament record with 8 steals! – And Player of the Year Finalist – Tyler Hansbrough - finished his career with 18 points and 7 rebounds and probably one of the most heralded Tar Heels of all time.
Roy Williams has 2 National Championships – UNC now has 6. (1924, 1957, 1982, 1993, 2005 and NOW 2009) The NCAA Tournament was not an actual tournament until 1939, so the Championship won in 1924 doesn’t count towards our NCAA Championships.
I will say, Tar Heel fans, we won’t get adequate recognition for this win. People are already saying things like “95 % of America picked ya’ll to win, it’s not that big of a deal.”
Whatever.
Tar Heel fans, we have to come together and enjoy this win amongst ourselves. We know what we’ve been through. We know we should’ve went 38-0. Losing Tyler Zeller hurt us. Losing Marcus Ginyard KILLED us. Tyler hurting his toe before the ACC Tournament and the loss to FSU set us back. Losing Will Graves set us back. But we overcame ALL obstacles, and proved the people right- we ARE the best team in the country.
As I sat and watched the Boys last night with my brother Bohss, I had a FRIGHTENING realization – this could be one of the greatest Tar Heel teams we’ve ever seen. So I had an idea for today:
What would be your 5 Man All –Time Tar Heel Team if you could mix and match from ANY era?
My 5 Man All Time Tar Heel Team: (1) Ty Lawson, (2) MJ, (3) Vince Carter, (4) Tyler Hansbrough, (5) Sean May – what about Worthy, Phil Ford, Jamison, Stackhouse, Wallace, Forte, Cota, WOW!

Life Ain't Peachy - All American Game
March 14th, at about 7:00am, 28 year old CLE Browns WR Donte Stallworth was leaving a hotel on South Beach in Miami. At the exact same time, 59 year old Mario Reyes, a construction worker, was finishing his shift and trying to catch a bus home. Donte hopped in his 2005 Bentley and max’d out doing 50 in a 40 down busy MacArthur Causeway. When he saw Mr. Reyes in the street, he flashed his lights for him to move; Mr. Reyes was in no rush to do so. Bam! When officers got to the scene, Donte Stallworth admitted:”I hit the man lying in the street.” Of course the officer smelled the alcohol on his breath and said his eyes appeared “red and glossy”. Donte blew a .126, well above Florida’s legal limit of .08. Donte will appear in court today, facing a DUI charge and vehicular manslaughter charges; facing a possible 15 years. He’s requesting to be released today on a $200,000 bond. Stallworth will be prohibited from driving while on bail and not allowed to drink alcohol and he has a midnight to 6 a.m. curfew and submit to random alcohol and drug testing through the NFL's substance abuse program.
Last month, Houston Texans Running Back Ryan Moats was rushing his wife and another woman to the hospital because his mother in law was dying of breast cancer. As he approached a red light by Baylor Regional Medical Center, he looked for traffic, saw there was none, and ran the light. He was immediately pulled by 25 year old Officer Robert Powell who jumped out of the vehicle pistol drawn demanding everyone to stay in the vehicle. Ryan’s wife Tamishia Moats and the other woman in the vehicle ignored the officer and Tamishia said:”my mother is dying…do you understand?” The officer continued to be ridiculous to Ryan Moats screaming at him: “I can screw you over, I’d rather not do that. Your attitude will dictate everything that happens.” Jonetta Collinsworth, 45, died of breast cancer before Powell allowed Moats to go inside. That Officer had been placed on a paid leave pending the investigation, and he has now resigned. Good. Jerk. Over Zealous Cops man. These are the pricks that give officers a bad name. Because there are some good ones. The Sherriff’s in Winston are GREAT. I’ve met some Officers in Winston that were cool too. A couple in the Greensboro area. A couple pricks in the Sherriff’s Dept in Guilford College – the coolest is Deputy Briggs!! I LOVE her! –
Last night was the High School All American Game, and it was SUCH a treat!!!
The East won 113-110. Derrick Favors, headed to Georgia Tech, got MVP honors with 19pts and 8 rebs– a BEAST. How’d YOUR player do?
Ryan Kelly – dook – 6pts, Milton Jennings – Clemson – 4pts, Dexter Strickland – UNC – 2pts, John Henson – UNC – 14pts, Michael Snaer – FSU -13pts, Travis Wear – UNC – 6pts, Mason Plumlee – dook – 6pts, Xavier Henry – undecided/was going to MEM – 14pts, Tiny Gallon – OU – 20pts – 300lbs running the floor like a guard, DeMarcus Cousins – 14pts/8rebs – Undecided/was to Memphis (top center coming out)

Draft-All-American-Calipari-Womens Tournament
If you’re reading this snippet on facebook, read the blog in it’s entirety at: http://bdaht.blogspot.com
Question of the Day:
Interesting question on the show this morning. Simple: Will Ty Lawson be a Top 5 Draft Pick in this years draft?
Future Heel Watch
Tonight’s the McDonald’s All-America Game on ESPN. Girl’s game begins at 5:30pm and fella’s play at 8pm. We have a couple recruits hoping to make a HUGE impact on THEE UNC Tar Heels. A 6’10, 200 lb monster of a Forward with an 88-inch wingspan named John Henson, a 6’3, 180 lb combo guard named Dexter Strickland and a pair of 6’10, 225lb twin brothers – David and Travis Wear. With Danny Green, Bobby Frasor and Tyler Hansbrough ending their college careers, and Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington probably playing their final 2 games in a Tar Heel uniform, we’ll need some size and scoring for next season and these guys may fit the bill.
dook also has a couple guys in the All-American game. 2 typical dook style players: 2 tall white guys t play Forward – Ryan Kelly and Mason Plumlee.
Money Talks and Calipari Walks
John Calipari agreed to leave Memphis and head to Kentucky for an 8 year $31.65 million deal plus incentives, making him the highest paid Coach in college basketball. Kentucky will also pay Memphis a $200,000 buyout. The 50 year old Calipari has a career record of 445-140 in 17 seasons; 137-14 over the past 4 years. That’s an awesome record and he should definitely bring Kentucky back to the level of contention they were once known for.
What you think?
WOMEN’s TOURNEY
I’m not watching. Period. I’m sorry man, DAMN! We already KNOW who’s going to win this thing. The Men’s tournament is SO up in the air. (well not really, but you know what I’m talkin bout) Noone in women’s basketball can beat UCONN. Period. They are TOO good. It’s almost not even fair. So I’m sorry “Miss B” – Didn’t see Maryland lose. Or dook. OR UNC. And I PROBABLY won’t see UCONN win. Sorry.
I would like for Oklahoma to upset em though. And after UCONN dismantles Stanford, hopefully OU can escape LOU and set up the Big Game of UCONN vs. OU. Especially with Courtney Paris (Big Gal for the Sooners) hath guaranteed a National Championship for OU; that’s probably the ONLY way I’ll watch the Womens (2nd half) of the National Championship Game.
Better “Miss B”?
