Mike Copeland will be making his second trip to Final Four
Posted Apr 2, 2009
Mike Copeland is a career reserve at North Carolina, but he's one of the most fortunate players in all of college basketball this season. On Saturday Copeland will participate in his second Final Four when UNC plays Villanova in the national semifinals. Copeland knows that dozens of great players haven't gotten the chance to play in one Final Four in their careers, much less Final Fours in back-to-back seasons.
