" ACC championships for North Carolina welcome to the bottom line on tar heel basketball. I'm Tom were Milan would Mike Kaminsky in my -- think the answer that question has got a BS top five starters coming back also Hansbrough returns he was the player of the year last year. No no question about it time you look at this team and they're loaded some anxious moments may be this summer with Lawson Ellington and green test in the NBA waters but all of them decided. To come back I think there was a collective thought there was little unfinished business from last year yeah especially the loss to Kansas in the national semifinals really a blow up by North Carolina standards like they lost only three games last year. You're talking about disappointment didn't get to the finals I know him you -- you if you look at the 36 wins all they accomplished. And then that just shows you what can happen in the NCAA tournaments the beauty of it though the one game and now you have one bad game and things and it's all part for you but. There's no reason to think why this North Carolina team shouldn't be the prohibitive number one pick going into this here and the odds on favorite to win the national championship I think we know what starts with Tyler Hansbrough slow tough inside what can he improve on for the senior season he does so much for this team. Any sold -- rugged on the interior no no question and you look at him he's really tried to find ways to improve his game started shooting a little fifteen foot jump shot to give off the block him. Get away from the double teams who just works so hard he plays with so much passion. And who would have thought after his freshman year that he'd be suiting up for his senior season went over Tar Heels are happy about it led the ACC in scoring and rebounding last season looking for huge thing is this season Ty Lawson -- point guard. Had that ankle injury missed seven games will that affect them all the season these things -- I think he should be healthy couples love the steps off the court this summer but he needs to refocus he should be completely comfortable running this team now. Health obviously an issue with him but he knows the pace the Roy Williams wants to play -- more senior leadership from Fraser returns and some ligament damage in the knee and it's so you know that's just an added bonus in -- happy for him to rehab seems to be going well. It was tough for him to sit out last year but -- he gets to come back and and have a runner national championship season how much effect do you think that Kansas game that we reference in the national semifinals. Had on this team and might have during the course of this season well I think you have to look at it two ways one I'm. It -- it has the temper the enthusiasm slightly. Because you know what can happen in -- one and done situation you have one bad game and it can be real -- But I really believe Roy Williams and for this team that was a motivating game to help them work through the summer and say look we've we've got something left on the table for us right is this team. The Tar Heels going back to the final four what is the bottom line much and Hinske know I've I don't think there's any question that they are -- the most talented team in the country. They've got senior leadership -- got people who put on Roy williams' system. Now for for a few years -- comfortable together they have all the ingredients to be a national champion."
