Sure is a lot going on right now - College World Series, Tiger winning his 14th major on a bum knee, major league baseball in full swing, NBA Finals winding down - But, I want to start the week with some college basketball. I know there isn't much college basketball talk during June, but a lot of the fun of next season may have been eliminated by 3 decisions today.
Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington, and Danny Green are all returning to UNC along with 1st team All-American Tyler Hansbrough. This means the entire roster for the Heels this past year excluding Quentin Thomas will be back for next season. A 36-4 team that was probably the most talented in the country will have another crack at a national title.
I said some of the fun may have been eliminated - I have already filled in 6 games in my 2009 NCAA Tournament Bracket. But the fun may not be in the champion, but the Heels run at perfection. They not only return a great point guard in Lawson, the player of the year in Hansbrough, a lights out shooter in Ellington and a Hall of Fame Coach - this team will get Bobby Frasor back from a knee injury and get 2 big time recruits to give them some needed depth inside - Tyler Zeller and Ed Davis. And, with the ACC not having another top 10 team (Duke will still have the same problems they had last year) I think UNC can make a decent run at the first undefeated season since Indiana in 1976...
