We Do This Together

After playing together for four seasons, it's hard to imagine Brice Johnson without Marcus Paige, and vice-versa. In their four years together, the duo have gone through every scenario imaginable, but it has all led to this weekend. If UNC is to succeed in the Final Four, Paige and Johnson pledge to do it together.

May Day

Current North Carolina basketball players don't have to look far for advice from a National Title winning Tar Heel player. 2005 National Champion Sean May joined the UNC staff this year and has been helping players understand their role as they progress further and further into the NCAA Tournament.

The Mouth of the South

That loud guy you hear in all the UNC basketball videos? Yeah, that's Theo Pinson. Like it or not, Pinson has been talking all year and won't stop until his Tar Heel's team reaches the top of the mountain. While Pinson adds character to the team, its his play on the court that has helped get UNC to the Final Four.

More than a Game

So often we don't take time out to just watch basketball and silence out the rest of the noise. Silence out everything the media is saying, silence out your stress, silence it all out. With North Carolina in the Final Four, it's time to just enjoy basketball as fans.

NCAA Questions

UNC-Syracuse probably isn't the Final Four match-up that the NCAA saw coming. Both teams haven't been in the high graces of the organization as of late, but all of that is up in the air. The odd thing about this UNC team, though, is that they seem to be the model representation of what the NCAA wants.

Jackson Hits Potential

Justin Jackson has worked for everything he has been given in his life. After two full season on the North Carolina men's basketball team, Jackson is finally hitting the potential that players and coaches alike had seen in him when he arrived on campus.

Up The Ladder

Guard Joel Berry has a lot to live up to. When he came to UNC, he stepped into the shoes of all the great guards that have been at the university in the past. But for Berry, that is just motivation to keep getting better.
