The best dang TEAM, TEAM, TEAM, TEAM, TEAM, in the land has won the 2005 National Championship!! Where are all those who said that the Illini defense would shut down the UNC offense?? Where are all those who said the UNC defense couldn't keep up with the Illini motion offense?? Where are they now???

TAR!!! HEELS!!!!

TAR!!! HEELS!!!!

it's not fair, chapel hill does not deserve a championship. oh well.

*mutters to herself* Congrats.

I did get the score exactly right in all the pools I entered. I'm quite proud of myself for saying 75-70.

:D

The only good I can get out of this is that nearly half of Carolina's players aren't coming back next year (McCants, May, Williams), so so much for a repeat.

:cry:

I'll be honest, I definitely had some tears of joy, especially for our seniors. Jawad, Jackie, and Melvin. To go from 8-20 to national champs, that's just so awesome!






This is the best feeling ever :D




( Now if they would stop showing so many freaking commercials and let me watch the celebration!)

Now Georgia can repeat that. :D

Congrats to the Heels. They were a better team than Illinois. Sean May is a MAN.

Ok Now that Basketballs over the real men start playing. :D

Carolina fans don't need to think about next year for a long while. They just need to enjoy this.

Congrats on the win, I thought the Illini would run the table following the comeback vs Arizona. But UNC was the better team on the floor tonight. May is impossible to matchup with and the UNC team as a whole was more explosive and had more offesive balance, Illinois lived to much from beyond the arch, they had trouble penetrating and getting easy shots all night.

Congrats UNC!! Coming from a UC fan, what's the final four like?? :( That was a great game. Thanks for letting Illinios back in it. I didn't want to see a blow out.

4>3 :drink: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
You dookies may talk all you want about kids going pro as Shelden and McRoberts will be joining them!!!!!!!!!!! :laugh:
NATIONAL CHAMPS BABY!!!!!!!!!!! 4>3! :laugh:

Way to represent the ACC, the best conference in all the land bar none.

Damn, Ilinois was one hell of a team! That was one of the best N.C.'s ever!

isn't mcroberts that white kid? white high schoolers do not jump.

whew, I pinched myself this morning to make sure I hadn't been dreaming. :laugh:

Dang swoosh, did you read that in your KKK handbook? :rolleyes:

Don't get me wrong, I picked UNC to beat Illinois in my pool. You can check if you want, but I would have liked to have seen a game where the refs didn't help dictate the outcome. I would have liked to see Augustine in there playing May. I would have liked to see UNC's A-Team against Illinois' A-Team. I am not saying that UNC wouldn't have won, but I don't think May would have scored 26. I also think Illinois would have had more thatn 16 points in the paint. Augustine was MVP of the Big Ten tournament.

Yeah, just think if the refs had called all the moving screens. :rolleyes: When you shoot 40 3's you wont score a lot of points in the paint.
