I'm pretty much speechless at what the Tar Heels have done in these past two games. The only was to describe it is "near perfection". This is an amazing group of athletes, who are all very much likable kids. They are playing the best basketball I've seen in a long time, college or pro. I've heard all the arguments that their defense is sub-par or that another team with stifling defense will overcome them, but to tell you the truth, the way they look right now is just unbelievable. They DO have a good defense, but really only play it when it's absolutely necessary, like the end of the second d00k game. They held d00k scoreless for the last 5 minutes of the game. So it's there, they just don't HAVE to use it.
When they won the Championship back in 2005, people made arguments about how Roy was only able to win with someone else's (Matt Daugherty's) players and not his own. It's time to shut those critics up. This team looks superior to that team, and have shown it time and time again. The only missing piece of the puzzle? The trophy. They'll have that soon enough.
