Why we watch

Posted on March 26, 2009 by Staff

• North Carolina will be making its 26th appearance in the NCAA Round of 16 since 1967. I don’t know if this is an NCAA-leading number, but it sure sounds good to me.

• The Tar Heels won the ACC regular season in 2009 for the 27th time. That is eight more titles than Duke has, and four more than all of the other ACC schools combined.

• Carolina has also captured the ACC Tournament title 17 times; and although current head coach Roy Williams downplays the significance of this event, there are few things more thrilling than seeing your team cut down the nets in Greensboro, Charlotte, Atlanta, wherever the tournament is held.

• Carolina won its 98th NCAA Tournament game against LSU on Saturday, tying the Tar Heels with Kentucky for first on the all-time list. Carolina has played NCAA games in 39 cities, but this will be the Heels’ first time in Memphis.

• If Carolina makes it to the Final Four in Detroit, it will be the Tar Heels’ 18th appearance in that most hallowed grouping, an NCAA high.

And we know Danny Green can dance.
