What a difference one year makes

SpartyOn.com : What a difference a year makes


It's March Spartans, and I think we all remember what happened last March. We played for the National Title and came up a bit short. That hurt. But take a look at what's happening down on Tobacco Road. This is an excerpt from a Yahoo.com article about the biggest failures of this bball season. The old addage, 'a picture is worth a thousand words' really comes to mind though :


North Carolina : No one was predicting the Tar Heels would win a second consecutive national title. But no one was predicting them to go 5-11 in the ACC, either. UNC went 11-3 in the 2009 portion of the schedule, with the losses to Syracuse, Kentucky and Texas. Nothing embarrassing there, right? But then the calendar turned, and things went sour quickly. There was a loss to the College of Charleston on Jan. 4, followed by a 1-3 start in ACC play. That 1-3 turned into 2-7 rather quickly, and the season spiraled out of control.

UNC finished 3-5 at home in the ACC. The guard play has been bad on both ends of the court. Big man Ed Davis was lost for the season in mid-February. A touted freshman class had to play too many minutes, and those guys just weren't ready to play consistent high-caliber basketball."
