@@myopinion1845 Agreed ..they won their games in the tournament by over 20 pts.per game..and was tied or trailed for only 4 minutes and 55 seconds for the entire tournament..Lawson and Tyler were the two best players in that Final Four.
I have been a Carolina fan my whole life. Saw disappointing Championships losses in 77 & 81. But then here comes Jordan, He elevated the Tarheel program, winning in 82 & then being college POY in 83 & 84. There have been many great UNC teams but IMO the 2009 National Championship team was their best overall.
The most dominant tournament run in the history of the NCAAT. Won EVERY SINGLE GAME by double digits and made it look incredibly easy along the way. What a team that 2009 group was. The most dominant ACC team I've ever seen.
I am a KU fan and always knew when Roy left to his alma mater that he would win multiple titles because A.) He is probably the best head coach any top tier team could want. B.) Because the ACC is the best conference in the nation. I thought UNC would beat KU in 2008, but KU just played out of their minds, and UNC still managed to close the 28 point gap that Kansas scorched out to. 2009 was pure dominance. I have great respect for your program and can thank Dean smith for placing Roy at KU,
In many ways this team is the best I've ever seen at UNC. My brother and I have been watching the Heels for 40 yrs and at times during this game we were in awe. There were at least a few possessions where they were almost perfect, and it's true that Michigan (or any other team I can think of) really didn't stand a chance.
so your logic is recruits are required to stay instate or they're traitors? that's the stupidest shit I've ever heard. Kids want to go where they feel the most comfortable, not stay at home to please jerkass instate fans that turn on them the moment they leave the state. Furthermore, the SEC and ACC weak? LMAO You're out of your mind. Both conferences shit on the PAC12 and B1G. If they're so superior, how come neither conference has won a title since 2000? No, it's not because of these top guys going east, It's because the teams are always ass and lose before they even get to the Final Four to some lower seeded team. Every year the B1G puts in nearly 10 teams and 7 of them lose before the first 2 rounds are even over. If I was a top recruit out west, I wouldn't want to stay west past Kansas either and watch my draft stock plummets to nonexistent levels.
When LeBron left I wished him the best and hoped that he'd keep losing to my Spurs, like any rational fan with common sense would have done. And I was hoping he'd never go back to that town full of self absorbed cunts that decided to burn his Jersey for doing what was best for HIM. I still wish he hadn't gone back. People who act like that don't deserve success. And you sound exactly like one of those types of fans. If everyone's calling your logic stupid, it's probably because your logic IS stupid. If everyone's crazy but you, you're the crazy one. Case and point.
That's because they were beaten at halftime. The game was over. It was over actually before the game started. Michigan State couldn't live down that drubbing they took at the Pontiac Dome earlier in the season
I mean they had ty Lawson Danny green Wayne Ellington Tyler hansborough ed Davis Deon Thompson Larry drew and Tyler zeller..8 nba.players..5 legit nba rotation players
globalicon2012 lmao I grew up in New England and have always been a fan of UNC, ever think they wanted to play for one of the top 3 programs in the nation not only for the spotlight for a potential NBA career, and the fact they grew up fans of UNC🤔🙄
I remember watching this as a Tar Heel fan I was still nervous in the first half even as we absolutely blitzed them I feared a miraculous comeback by MSU.
Tyler Hansbrough carried this squad throught out the season and tournament.They are a powerhouse blue blood team.North Carolina had just won a title in the 2004-05 season so I wasn't surprised that the Tarheels won this one.And I don't like North Carolina but I have to respect thier basketball program that sent players to the NBA like Michael Jordan,Vince Carter, and Eric Montross.
This team was pretty much unstoppable. The only thing I could think that could have made it better is Brandon Wright. We would have gone undefeated with him. Heels fan forever, win or lose!
Im a Maryland fan but i can definitely say i like UNC WAY more than Duke. I don't like em but i would rather see them win than Duke. This UNC team had all the pieces the 3 ball, inside game, and great court generalship by Lawson. Great team no doubt! At least my Terps got em in the regular season!
2023 Amondo Bacot breaks all of Tyler Hansbrough unc basketball records. Amondo Bacot played in a championship game lost by 3 points to Kansas in 2022..time stamp
Fabulous team by the Heels that year. I think any other year, my Spartans would have won. However, congratulations to one of the greatest teams ever. How about a Carrier classic rematch in april? GO GREEN!
Quite possibly the best UNC team of all time, with 6 current players still going strong in the NBA... Ed Davis: Grizzlies Wayne Ellington: Cavilers Danny Green: Spurs Tyler Hansbrough: Pacers Ty Lawson: Nuggets Tyler Zeller: Cavilers
Wolverinefan, on paper this looks like the best team ever. Danny Green had the most wins in UNC history. Hansbrough had tons of records and he + Ellington were the highest scoring UNC duo ever. The 1/2-time score and lead in this game were the highest ever, and Lawson had a record number of steals. The '05 team played great through their last tournament, but for the whole 4 years (esp. bc so many jr's came back in 08) these guys get my nod for best ever. If they played, '09 gets my vote :).
@cschnei08. Lets not forget Florida had the one guy 9I think it was Humpries) who could make 3's from the parking lot and Corey Brewer--who could score the ball and could be the defensive stopper. It would be a good game indeed.
If everyone comes back, like they should I do believe next year they could be on par. What the current team lacks is the killer instinct that these guys had, this current Carolina team gets up 20 and then just kinda stops. In 09 they just constantly drove it down people's throats. Even if they some how pull it off this year everyone should stay imo, after last night Barnes proved he isnt ready for the NBA. Henson I think still needs more strength and Marshall needs to break more records :)
This was UNC most decisive title win. In all the 5 Championships that UNC has won there were very close games. 1957: I believe was 3 overtimes to decide. 1982: MJ game winning shot and Fred Brown's turnover. 1993: Webber's time out 2005: The game was tied in the final 2 minutes until Marvin Williams put back.
I think they played each other the first game of the season that year on the aircraft carrier if im not mistaken..and unc handled them then so this game was already in the bag
Highest Lead in each National Championship since 2009 2009 Carolina 24 points vs Michigan State W 2010 Duke 6 points vs Butler W 2011 UCONN 14 points vs Butler W 2012 Kentucky 16 points vs Kansas W 2013 Michigan 12 points vs Louisville L 2014 UCONN 15 points vs Kentucky W 2015 Duke 8 points vs Wisconsin W 2016 Villanova 10 points vs Carolina W 2017 Gonzaga 7 points vs Carolina L 2018 Villanova 22 points vs Michigan W 2019 Virginia 10 points vs Texas Tech W The top 2 teams imo in that period is North Carolina in 09 and Kentucky in 12. Both teams had Guards and Forwards who did their things but I think Carolina had too much depth inside with Hansborough, Thompson, and Davis for Anthony Davis to handle. Terrance Jones was an afterthought in their Championship Game too so I know he would've been one vs North Carolina.
what i'm trying to prove is that he is still going strong providing solid minutes whenever hes on the floor...hes not a superstar that's going to put the team on his back and you cant realize how valuable he is... theres a reason why hes the six man for the pacers...
As a ku undergraduate and unc graduate, I would have to say not true. UNC is godly i admit that, but KU has it's backbone. 07-08 jayhawks which won the national championship; which against 08-09 UNC would be a very good match up. Both teams are just way too balanced. Kansas is faster, overall better defense, north carolina is just all offense, which is why they are so hard to defeat. If juniors from KU came back for 08-09 season instead of going pro, unc may have not gone to title game.
@dgoss90 It was the 1989-1990 season, minor detail. I agree, UNLV was the best in the last 25 years. However, I think there were several teams better than '90 UNLV before 1985.
@jrussell04 You are correct, in 1957 you guys upset my Kansas Jayhawks featuring WILT CHAMBERLAIN. Research that game. 3OT. Probably the best game ever. Although the game wasn't like it is now popularity wise...
@iWilzon- cuz at the initial jump both Hansbrough and that MSU guy got tangled up, and a jump ball was called, and since no 1 had gained advantage yet, they jumped again
I'm rooting for the championship this year to be Louisville vs South Florida, because I'm a UConn fan and support all Big East teams (except for Syracuse). But realistically, I think it's going to be Marquette vs North Carolina.
@tlight26berry Which is a remarkable record. Regardless how bad a team is...it seems like they would have beaten us at least once in those 25-27 or so years. Could you imagine building an arena in the early 80's and have your in-state rival (no matter who they are) BE UNDEFEATED THERE? It is a record that really shows the dominance of the Larry Brown/Roy Williams/and current Bill Self era at Kansas.
unc had its best year in history (in my opinion) and they were just the better team then msu i mean, the announcer was exactly right, the size was 2 much
villanova did not overachieve that year. scottie reynolds was a beast. dante cunningham played his ass off. corey fisher and corey stokes helped with their shooting strokes. but reynolds was probably one of the best guards in college basketball. granted hes done nothing in the nba. idk where hes at now. could be d-league. but he was better than most, if not all besides ty lawson of UNC, of the guards in the tourney that year
@chickenwings360- idk what your watching but UNC is a national champion contender, and a pre-season favorite by many to win it all. lol they got Harrison Barnes, who is only a soph but will prolly win NPO this year, they made the Elite 8 last yr, im pretty sure if you make it to the Elite 8 you don't suck haha
@WWEFaNOFKANE1997 lol. Kansas has a rather pathetic record vs. UNC. But we won an important meeting the last time! WVU is pretty up there and I would not call them mediocre. They are in the 2nd best conference and have made noise for a good amount of years now. They get very good talent and Huggins was in the Final Four in 2010! When he was coaching Kansas State, he ended the streak of Kansas beating them 27 or so straight times, it was KSU's first win at their new arena since it was built.
Lol, as a KU fan I would hate to admit that, but yes you are most likely correct. Would depend which kansas team showed up that game though. The KU team that played against TCU at TCU or a struggling game against iowa state we would get our asses handed but not by alot maybe 12 point loss most. Now KU team that plays their A game like they did in the big 12 tournament would be a close match, but I would give the edge to louisville still, but only winning by like 1-2 points max.
@tlight26berry Also, this year 11-12' I am predicting the Heel's to win it all again. That will give Roy 3 NCAA titles. Just as many as KU has in their entirety. I am not a homer that does not face reality, maybe we could be tied currently at 4 a piece if you guys hadn't beat us in 3OT in 57. Kansas and Carolina have so much tradition. I look forward to seeing UNC in the Final Four once again...assuming we can make it past the elite 8. : - 0. IN HONESTY. UNC and KU are the epitome of CBB.
villanova was a sleeper in that tourny, i had them going to the final four that year, with unc winning it all obviously bc of their monster lineup, but nova was a 3 seed. how do you call that overacheiving? is what uconn did last year overachieving? or how bout the butler team of the past two years? think those are flukes. i love the heels man, but give some love to my boys in philly. nova deserves respect, especially that year
Total domination from start to finish! One of, if not the best team in tournament history!
Ill have to give it to ky with anthony davis msinly cause of anthony davis
95-96 Kentucky was so much better.
I'd give it to Carolina.
@@myopinion1845 Agreed ..they won their games in the tournament by over 20 pts.per game..and was tied or trailed for only 4 minutes and 55 seconds for the entire tournament..Lawson and Tyler were the two best players in that Final Four.
I’m pretty sure the Kansas team spanked this team the year before in the final four

What do you think of Wisconsin? Lmao
Lmfao L Wisconsin
You can't even celebrate your national title without throwing shade at others. All these flavors, yet you choose to be salty.
i would like to see the '05 team play the 09 team. that'd be interesting.
Better than 2005?
The most dominant tournament run in the history of the NCAAT. Won EVERY SINGLE GAME by double digits and made it look incredibly easy along the way. What a team that 2009 group was. The most dominant ACC team I've ever seen.
I would like to see Villanova play this team in their prime

That 2008 Kansas team and 2009 UNC are the most complete National Champions in recent college basketball era..A KU fan who has much respect for UNC..
Almost brings tears to my eyes. I watched this game in the Dean Dome and means a lot to everyone on that campus.
UNC TAR HEELS CHAMPS AGAIN
Lol
I honestly believe this is the best team in UNC basketball history.
This team and the UNLV team with Larry Johnson, Stacey Augmon, Anderson and Greg Anthony are the two best college basketball teams ever
2012 kentucky too with Davis lamb miller Teague t Jones and mkg...
2007 Florida or 2021 Baylor
Yaaaaaaaaaaas! Runnin' Rebels....NEVER FORGET ❣️
2012 UK team wouldn't stand a chance against the 2009 UNC team

I'd rather see the 2012 UNC team vs the 2012 UK team tbh. THAT would've been a hell of a game.

The most dominant run through the tourney in recent memory, great video and awesome follow up yo your '05 Championship.
UNC '09 champs baby!
This UNC team was more like an NBA team... just demolished Michigan St
I mean they had ty Lawson Danny green Wayne Ellington Tyler hansborough ed Davis Deon Thompson Larry drew and Tyler zeller..8 nba.players..5 legit nba rotation players
@globalicon2012 disloyal? Big 10 basketball is a joke, as the Heels clearly demonstrated here.
globalicon2012 lmao I grew up in New England and have always been a fan of UNC, ever think they wanted to play for one of the top 3 programs in the nation not only for the spotlight for a potential NBA career, and the fact they grew up fans of UNC🤔🙄
This team is the best championship team in the last two decades easy.
I remember watching this as a Tar Heel fan I was still nervous in the first half even as we absolutely blitzed them I feared a miraculous comeback by MSU.
Juggurnaut. A complete machine.
Wayne Ellington was a 1ST ROUND PICK & He can certainly shoot the ball!
Still my favorite team, and I've watched some great teams play great basketball for Carolina for more than ?? years.
That was one solid UNC team. Michigan State really didn't have a chance.
Finally a highlight video that isn’t over an hour long! Go Heels!
This was a beautiful game :) As a proud Tar Heel and Spartan basketball fan, this game will stay in my heart forever!
Ellington was a god in this game...this was such a beat down.
Best team this century. No doubt about it.
2001 Duke 2002 Maryland, and 2009 UNC teams were all national champions and all ACC teams ⁉📘🏀🔷💺🏆🏆🏆
Loved this team! So dominant
Crazy how Draymond Green and Danny Green had the most success out of everyone in this game.
Its because if draymind and greens team you idiot
we waxed everyone in this tournament..too easy

Ed Davis: Grizzlies
Wayne Ellington: Cavilers
Danny Green: Spurs
Tyler Hansbrough: Pacers
Ty Lawson: Nuggets
Tyler Zeller: Cavilers
amazing that 05 and 09 UNC teams won NCAA Tournament and not ACC Tournament..🔷🏟🏀💺🤔
My brothers been telling me to watch this team and he told this was the best team he’d ever seen and my god I’m not disappointed
Just in a few days ago. Williams has managed to hook PJ Hairston, Joshua Hairston's (DOOK recruit) brother. That should be fun.

With Zeller already there, Henson coming in, and if Davis, Lawson, and Ellington had stayed, we would have won in 2010 as well.
I think they played each other the first game of the season that year on the aircraft carrier if im not mistaken..and unc handled them then so this game was already in the bag
The aircraft game was a couple years later. They played in that 2009 regular season at Ford Field too. Carolina won by a lot
2021 Baylor just did the same thing to Gonzaga. Nasty
Damn MSU didn’t stand a chance even with the home crowd
North Carolina dominated every game they played in the tournament last year. Every team they faced, they beat by 20.

This is probably the most lopsided championship game since UNLV used Duke as an asswipe back in 1990
and a third. most steals in a half, and I believe most steals in a championship game.

It's really laughable how they just rolled through the tournament 😂 GO HEELS
villanova was a sleeper in that tourny, i had them going to the final four that year, with unc winning it all obviously bc of their monster lineup, but nova was a 3 seed. how do you call that overacheiving? is what uconn did last year overachieving? or how bout the butler team of the past two years? think those are flukes. i love the heels man, but give some love to my boys in philly. nova deserves respect, especially that year
This team could destroy the 2006-2007 Florida team.
Why did walton do jump bal lol?
very likely you are right...
@cowboyborn. This I disagree with. Noah and Hortfort would have put the stop on Hansborough and have been too much for him.
LETS GO GET NUMBER SEVEN TONIGHT BOYS! GO TAR HEELS

the 2009 MSU severely over achieved in the NCAA..they had no chance in this game

Really no one had a chance against this UNC juggernaut.
