REDEMPTION

They didn't finish well on Saturday.  Maybe near seven minutes to go in the game they started missing foul shots after being nearly perfect then first 30  minutes.

They also quit going inside instead three pointers and mid range jumpers took over instead of the  inside game led by Kennedy Meeks which Oregan never stopped all night.  They also started holding on to the ball running clock and held it too late in the 30 second clock to either get inside or take a good shot but desperate shots before clock runs out.

While all this was happening Oregon could only trim the lead to one.  The Last two minutes the Tar Heels played like they were the team playing in the final four for the first time.  In the end tipped rebounds save their skin.

Can it be the the Tar Heel nation can feel comfortable heading into Monday night's game against a team just as tall and to a certain degree a reflection of themselves.

The first half the first ten minutes was a continuation of the last ten in the semi finals.  Eight minutes to go inthe the first half Carolina trailed the rebounding game 21-12.  Even though they trailed at the half the rebound margin was back to almost even.

You would hope in a game as important as the national championship game the refs would be unknown people but not this game.  They thought they had to be the stars and yet they ruined the game.  There was a foul called every 30 seconds.  How can any team get into any flow in this type game.

Despite the flow, the whistles, this was a battle.  Clearly both these teams were evenly matched. The refs called fouls when there  was none and didn't when there were.  Saturday Carolina didn't make the plays when they needed but they clearly won the last 20 seconds and are national champions.  GO HEELS.
