The Daily Tar Heel

TO THE EDITOR:
If I wanted to read two stories about how disappointed Harrison Barnes was with Sunday’s loss, I would have looked anywhere other than our campus newspaper.

I realize that, as a news outlet, The Daily Tar Heel has a responsibility to the report the facts — and there are plenty of facts to explain why the second half went the way it did.

However, as the newspaper of the University which these remarkable young men represent, The Daily Tar Heel has a responsibility to report stories other audiences might not care as much about.

Though The Daily Tar Heel did cover the Pass Fir5t movement, that was not enough.

If there was one day that I needed coverage of our basketball team that was not negative, it was Monday.

After a tournament that will remain in my memory as the year the injuries got in the way, it’s amazing to think about the positive attitude Roy’s Boys kept up.

They kept a positive attitude and clung to the Carolina Way through it all.

For anyone who, like me, was heart-warmed by the way our boys overcame obstacles this season, find the Pass Fir5t movement on Twitter and Facebook, and look up the writer Adam Lucas on Tarheelblue.com.

Always proud to be a Tar Heel.
