'09 Heels resemble '05 team

Posted Mar 25, 2009
This season is beginning to strike an eerie resemblance to 2004-05 for North Carolina's basketball team. That team, Roy Williams' second after leaving Kansas, won a national championship. His 2008-09 team is four difficult games away from duplicating that achievement. With a late-season mishap to a key player -- Ty Lawson's injured toe now, Rashad McCants' intestinal inflammation then -- the parallels are uncanny. (Raleigh News & Observer)
