UNC wins ACC regular-season title

Sunday night was Senior Night for the UNC men's basketball team, and what could be sweeter than defeating dook for the second time this season on such a special night? Maybe said win being UNC's sixth in their last seven meetings with dook? INDEED.

Todd, Maria and I listened to the post-game speeches by the senior Tar Heels. Emotions were running high on both ends of the spectrum: lots of laughs mixed with lots of tears. When Tyler Hansbrough's turn to speak arrived, Maria said, "Oh, Tyler's getting ready to lose it." And he did. What a gracious kid, and likely more hard-working than 99.99% of people out there - athlete or not.

The Heels are the top seed in this year's ACC Tournament. They will enter the tournament in game five on March 13th at 12 noon against either Virginia Tech or Miami.

Here's to hoping Tyler, Mike, Bobby, Danny and the rest of the UNC Seniors get to go out on a super-high note. GO HEELS!
