There is a new no. 1 team in the land and the North Carolina Tarheels couldn't be happier to be in the driver's seat again. They have to also be pleased that star point guard Ty Lawson is back on the court. Though, he's not at 100% he's presence and ability to keep the offense flowing is pivotal to UNC's success. Last night in Chapel Hill the Tarheels made the most of Senior Night and put on a great show. Florida State forced the Heels to work for leads in the first half. The hot shooting from the field did the Seminoles in and their inability to make defensive stops in the final 10 minutes.
North Carolina shot 54% in the game to Florida State's 43%. The dominant force once again inside was Tyler Hansbrough. He was the top scorer with 20 points while pulling down 9 rebounds. The Carolina Seniors, Quinton Thomas and Surly Wood got their moments of glory, leading the floor in the second half to standing ovations. It's good to see the seniors get their chance to shine and play well on a special night. Points off second chance offensive boards was put for the Tarheels. They out rebounded their opponent 41-27. With the win wrapped up the Heels look to get the no. 1 seed in the ACC tournament.
The end of the regular season schedule is most anticipated for UNC as they'll square off with the nemesis on Saturday in an ACC showdown. I know this game has potential for greatness and usually comes down to the final possession or goes into overtime. If the Tarheels head into the tournament with a 29-2 (counting on a victory over Duke) that will be awesome. I have to believe when the Tarheels are at full speed and strength they're one of the toughest teams to beat in the nation. Now suck on that Blue Devils! Woooooooooo! GO TARHEELS!!
