#1 in the Land!

I like this team it's good.

ACC champs??? lol, that's funny. It's about time those pussy tarholes win something. They blow and so do their REDNECK fans.

UNC SUCKS!!!!

Go Duke!

UNC sucks!!...they are ranked #21...DUKE is ranked #1!!....

wth??!! why r we even talking bout the tarheels? oh, i thought this was a best list, but i guess it's a like list. regardless, what r the tarheels even doing @ the top of anyone's conversation this year period unless u r a fan? give it a rest, there are a lot of excellent teams in the universe now, not just chapel hill. lol

Ok, maybe they are the 4th most liked team in the nation, but 4th best? No way. They are entertaining to watch with a great freshman forward, Hansbrough and several other new players that could develop into pro prospects. I think this is a very contented team after winning the national championship, and having lost 7(?) players to the draft and graduation they could not be expected to remain on top.

Here's a big time stat proving UNC the greatest CBB tradition alltime,now,& 4ever.UK,IU,&UNC are the only programs in CBB history to win NCAA Titles in 4 different decades.But UNC is the only one of the 3 to win NCAA Titles in 3 consecutive decades.In 1982,1993,&2005.UK has won 7 titles in 48,49,51,58,78,96,&98 but where's the consistency like UNC's.I repeat!Where is UK in the 1960's & 1980's.They don't have a title in the 1980's.IU won a title in the 1940's,1950's,1970's,&1980's but where are they in the 1960's,1990's,& right now.UK & IU just dreams every night they had that kind of tradition as UNC has.I repeat for the ignorant moderator who's a biased UK fan.UNC is the only CBB program to win NCAA Titles in 3 consecutive decades.1982,1993,2005.If you can't read it just remember,UNC record 16 F4's UK 13F4's IU 8F4's The Heels rule!!!

I hate the bull people are giving me for the lose the other day to Illinois. I mean, Carolina lost 7 players. 7. The illini team still have two or three starters from last year. We only lost by a total of 4 points. That is good givin that the Illini team is number 12 in the country, or maybe that just means that there over rated and Carolina isn't! Call me win Illinois wins a national chamionship, maybe 4, like Carolina. Then call me and cry when all your starters go pro and 2 from the bench leave. ROCK ON HEELS!

I was checking out 'scouthoops.com' today, and I became curious about something.......why the hell does Ohio State think they have the best recruiting class of all time coming in 2006 when they don't even have the #1 class in 2006? We do. In fact, with all the jokes and laughing about our upcoming team in '05-'06, I'm laughing for a different reason........by GOLLY, Carolina is about to win it again in '06-'07. For that class, we already have all six scholarships filled. So, that team will have sophomores Green, Hansbrough, Frasor, Ginyard, Copeland. Senior, Reyshawn Terry. Junior, Thomas. If that's not impressived enough, the 7 I just mentioned will be joined by #1 ranked pg, Tywon Lawson, #1 ranked PF Brandon Wright, #1 SG Wayne Ellington, and other top ranked freshmen Alex Stepheson, William Graves (local boy), and Deon Thompson. Once again, the problem in Chapel Hill will not be winning, but deciding who should play. They'll probably have to go back to the blue and white team days of Coach Smith - ......5 take a breather, 5 come in. Everybody said point guard would be an issue for us. The only prob I see is which one to play. Thomas should be excellent by the time Lawson arrives, but Lawson is the best point guard in America. He just got 51 points last night. Ahhh, the problems of a Tarheel fan. And many writers think Ellington is amazing and wouldn't be going to college at all if not for the age limit. So, what if Terry has turned into a top scorer/athlete like many think he will by the time Ellington arrives? In any case, shut up Ohio State, the #1 class in '06 is not something you possess. Look at 'scouthoops.com' and see for yourself. So, go cheat on a test or worry about Northwestern or something. We'll take care of basketball recruiting, thank you.

NOBODY can say that Carolina is over rated, they one a National Chapinoship, they sure proved them selves more then Duke did when they lost to Michigan State! I WILL ALWAYS BE A DIE HARD FAN OF CAROLINA AND WILL NEVER FORGET THIS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS, ONE OF THE BESTS!

Fine....even if I hate Carolina....I'll give 'em credit. They were the better team this year. They played a hell of a tournament. Can't argue with that....but guess what. There won't be a repeat. Plus, Sean May lied to yall's asses! He's going to the draft! Whatever happened to I'm gonna stay and try to get some of these guys to stay here with me.? Ha! Gosh, yall can really depend on him huh?

All I have to say is NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!! and that's it... Posted 3/14--Carolina has the potential to take it all this year... they have worked for everything they have gotten this year and deserve the #1 seed they got. Its going to be amazing if we see them cutting down the nets in St. Louis. I have been a Carolina fan my entire life and I loved Dean and was even fond of Matt Dohrety (Dukeblue4eva:are you on crack? did you really say that Dean Smith doesn't have any brains? meaning he doesn't know how to coach? i'm pretty sure you need to take a step back and re-evaluate) I really think Roy could finally get his championship this year... GO HEELS!!

Born and raised as a carolina fan... my whole family is upssessssed with carolina except for my uncle who is a duke fan(yuck! embarrassed to even say it!) the greatest dynasty of all time! i spend 4 hours of my day listening to woody(on game days, pregame show, the game, postgame show) i wear a carolina shirt almost everyday because i have so many and i wouldnt want it any other way!! im tarheel born and tarheel bread, and when i die i'll be tarheel dead!! UPDATE: big boy55... who did u say wouldnt get out of their region? Lemme just state, we're the Syracuse REGIONAL CHAMPIONS... UPDATE: National Champions... and all you haters just needa give up and ADMIT that we are the best team in the country... just how it's supposed to be... Sean May ~> MVP of the Tournament... and guess what... HE AINT GOIN PRO! way to go sean..

Ah, crap. Looks like I've got to give the little chuckleheads their due. The tournament is the test in college hoops and they passed.

I love you boys, and I will remember you as long as I live. Nothing anybody says matters now. You shut 'em up, and you brought it on home to the Hill where it belongs. Not a team? No defense? - none of that matters now. You are the champions and you are legends. We knew you could do it all along. And make no mistake, none of us bought that not a team crap for a second. It was nothing but wishful thinking by haters. They will inevitably come up with something negative - doesn't matter - CHAMPS! and you earned it. Melvin, Jackie, Jawad, Dave, Rashad, Sean, Marvin, Raymond, Charlie, Quentin, Byron, Damion, CJ, Jesse, Reyshawn, Wes, Damien - all you boys - A TEAM TEAM TEAM! While I don't have the money to stay on the internet to defend you. I love you, and will remember you forever. You shut 'em up and proved 'em wrong boys. Now you know what being a Tarheel is all about. NOW GO MAKE SOME CASH, BABY BOYS! - you deserve it. You're rich biotch! TRULY rich. And WOW, you sure as hell deserve it! FYI- Patrick is the name, and I'll be a Tarheel until I die!

I HATE THEM!!!

Raymond Felton + Jackie Manuel + Rashad McCants + Jawad Williams + Sean May + Marvin Williams + Roy Williams = 2005 NCAA National Champions.

HELLO!!!!!!! HIS NAME WAS DEAN SMITH!!!!! He is a legend, and if you are such a great Duke fan, and Duke is so great, learn to spell Coach K's last name! Oh, FYI, it's: Krzyzewski...

Sure dean martin was a great coach, nobody can deny that unc4me07, but coach K is much better. The job he has done with the team this year has been amzing, because, as anyone would tell you, the talent level of the 05 devils is not nearly as high as the duke powerhouses we have seen in the past. And Roy Williams is the worst coach ever. If Kryzewski got had the kind of players Williams has had to work with over the past 17 years he would have won at least seven or eigh titles already. PS. UNC is 2-14 vs. duke past five years. haha.

they are so overrated, as is the ACC they will not make it out of their region in the NCAA's

I don't hate NC they are just my rivals. I love Michael Jordan and I love McCants. Anyway they are good just not my cup of tea because of the cocky fans, who dis Duke ALL THE TIME! Good luck to NC and I wish Duke and NC played for the national championship, that would be awesome, but very bloody for fans!

What a joke. Their gay baby blue sums it up. That blue is blue wanting to be a pink. They suck and don't even come close to UKs titles yet for some reason ESPN likes them. Too bad they suck!

So many great, great pros are a product of North Carolina basketball. James Worthy being the best ever... just kidding. The most historic school ever. Go Heels!!!

I'd like to give Carolina five stars, but I just can't. Not with the Santa Clara loss. I know it was the first game of the year and everything, but there's no excuse to lose to a team with that kind of talent disparity. How do I know what kind of talent Santa Clara has? Because my city league team beat a team with two former Santa Clara players on it last week. No excuse.

First off, I have to say that I hate everything about CRAPOLINA, yeah that's right. I hate their pansy shade of sissy blue, I hate their goat mascot and I hate their idiotic fans. CRAPOLINA is the biggest joke in the college world (remember last year when the players shaved their heads? ha, need I say more?) they constantly fall on their faces and their coward fans run and hide when they do. Duke is superior in every way to CAROWHINA, I know and every unc fan knows it to. Roy Williams is a pointy nosed, stump jumping, backwoods, pig humping, goat roaping hillbilly with the iq of a rock. He is a two faced traitor and I don't know why stupid unc fans adore him. I wouldn't, look at what he said about not caring about unc when he was at Kansas...duh. But unc fans are not known to be the brainy types. Unc sucks, their fans suck more. MeCants is a project punk, Fatty Felton is a reject from the hood and Gay May is a fat bloated moron. Doherty should be the coach, he was 100% unc material. Dean Smith was a joke too, a fat country hick with no brains at all. CRAPOLINA's winning streak will soon fall, just like they always do and then all unc fans will say what they always do what until next season or we almost did it or better we played as good as Duke. Royal blue is the only shade of blue and Duke is the elite school of the ACC. CRAPOLINA BLOWS....

Haven't seen much from them this year but its still early and they have a lot of capapble players. Im aiming to see a big acc shootout. Of course Im pulling for duke to take it but...its still good to see the acc represented. And the people of North Carolina like myself are represented well.

We have a chemistry problem - and that chemistry problem is, when you put us on the basketball court together, we explode. Any Heel heads out there hear that Mike Jarvis idiot? Jesus, what the hell does the guy that coached St. Johns know about chemistry? He wouldn't know chemistry if RON ARTEST slapped him in the face. I think analyst underestimate Roy. I emphasize 'maybe', we MAYBE had a chemistry problem last year. I think it is impossible coach Williams doesn't pull this squad together, after a full season of learning the system. Chemistry? They talk about us like we're UNLV or Cincy or somebody! We obey coach - we dominate- PERIOD! HELLOOOOO!- It's not a matter of chemistry, it's a matter of DEFENSE! We had a sizeable lead at one point in every game we lost last season. CHRIST, WE COULD HAVE BEEN UNDEFEATED LAST YEAR! If you idiots out there think that won't be different this year with Marvin Williams, Quentin Thomas, and a fresh understanding of what Roy wants, you simply don't comprehend the game! Roy is truly bing underestimated at this point. Heel fans, has the realization truly hit you yet that we have ROY WILLIAMS? This ain't Bob Huggins. This ain't Pete Gillen. We'll be okay,trust me. RELAX! - 4 studs signed letters of intent on Wednesday alone! ROY WILL MAKE CHEMISTRY! RELAX.

It is a fact (look it up), we sell more merchandise than any sports team pro or college, besides the Yankees and Cowboys. That means we have more fans than everybody else. And that means we rule. We have the best recruiting class for '05 - '06, and if Bynum commits tomorrow, we probably have the best class of all time. In other words, I hope you haters had fun while it lasted. Like a dagger in your hearts, ain't it? Duhrrrrr, I thought Carolina was through. Get logical, doormats.

Maybe they are overhyped coming into this upcoming season, and maybe they're not. But I will say this, with this kind of talent, if they do what Williams says, when and how he says to do it, I can't see any team stopping them.

There is a lesson to be learned from Rashad's recent comments................ .................jail is awesome.

What can I say, I love Carolina. Good upbringing, I guess. But, who else would somebody from North Carolina like? What is there not to like?

I saw that game that numbah is talking about. That was the funniest thing I have ever watched.

Let's go boys, GET PUMPED UP! It's obvious we are better than everybody on paper! Now come on, prove it on the court! I ( objectively ) think with this kind of squad, you have to be unbeatable! PROVE ME RIGHT! COME ON!

I have respect for their program, but feel they are way over-rated. all those final 4's, all that talent, so few titles. Choke artists!, No way their program touches Indiana's, Kentucky's or UCLA, especially recently! Look at each teams record in the final 4!

CRAPOLINA BLOWS!!! WHO COULD PULL FOR A JOKE OF A SCHOOL WITH SMURF BLUE AS THEIR COLOR? OR A FOOT FOR A LOGO? OR A GOAT FOR A MASCOT? OR PLAYERS WITH CRIMINAL RECORDS? ONLY IGNORANT REDNECKS WOULD DO SUCH A THING. UNC SUCKS AT EVERYTHING. ROY WILLIAMS IS AN IDIOT, A TRAITOR. I HOPE THE NEXT TIME HE GOES TO KANSAS THEY TIE HIM UP AND TAR AND FEATHER HIM (AND BRAND HIM A COWARD). HE DEFINETELY IS FROM THE UNC FAMILY, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. HE IS JUST AS INEPT AS MATT DOH-ERTY, AND JUST AS PATHETIC. YOU UNC JERK OFFS ARE A DIME A DOZEN. LOOK AT YOUR SO CALLED TRADITION, A TRADITION OF GRADUATING LOSERS, DRUG ADDICTS, WOMEN BASHERS, DRUNKS, FELONS AND BRAINLESS MORONS. UNC IS THE BIGGEST JOKE IN COLLEGES, DO THE HOMEWORK. UNC BLOWS!! GO DUKE!!

I LOVE DUKE BUT CANNOT GIVE ENOUGH RESPECT TO THE HEELS. NO ONE CAN ARGUE THERE TRADITION AND HAVE THE BEST RIVALRY IN SPORTS TDY WITH DUKE!

This program will soon be back thanks to all the blue chippers Matt Dougherty left behind. Roy will have this team back on top soon.

i didnt used to have a problem with north carolina, til roy decided to be a little bitch and run back to dean...

Carolina Sucks! Sorry but its that truth!

north carolina is the best program in the counrty. Yeah they're down right now but next year you'll see who the best team is. Rashad McCants, Raymond Felton, Sean May, Jawad Williams, J.R Smith, Marvin Williams.

Roy williams will have them back on top in no time.

Good team, in a MONSTER of a conference (ACC). However, they're overrated.

Hopefully Roy Williams can turn UNC around

More wine and cheese CRIED the tarholes!

I don't care how much these dudes suck nowadays. I will be a Tarhell in spirit if not in citizenship for the rest of my days. There is no rationale for it, but I will stick by my team until the end of time. UNC Forever!!!

I bleed blue and white, but they suck. There glory days are over for now. *sniff*

It'll be a stretch for these guys to be in the ACC's top 4...I like Jawad Williams; he's got great inside presence, he's very athletic. I just question if he can have an immediate impact; on this team he has to...Jason Capel is overrated. He came in 4 years ago as a top 5 recruit, but he never has really come through for them...Losing Forte hurts, but I see the loss of Peppers as more devastating. Without him, who's going to beat guys up inside? Kris Lang?...Lang and Bersticker have never been go-to guys; it'll be intresting to see how they react to the pressure...They have serious issues at the point; Curry was not that great, but losing him hurts their depth, and now they must start either Morrison or Boone; I don't envy Doherty with that choice.

CLASS ORGANIZATION - pretty much sums it up!!!

It's pretty mind-boggling, but this team has been to the NCAA tournament 27 years in a row. Yes, 27 YEARS. Arizona is the next closest team with around 17 years. During that time, they have won two national titles (although critics may say that both were tainted - the pass and the timeout) and have been to many Final Fours. Plus, look at the long line of players who are currently in the NBA who went to Carolina (Carter, Wallace, Stackhouse, Jamieson, Hubert Davis, Rick Fox, Jeff McGinnis, Sam Perkins). I think it is pretty fair to say that they are the best program in the country. And, this year, they are #1 with a very real chance to win another championship.

They have to be a lot better team than their record reflects. Lots of B-ball tradition, so it is hard to visualize NC as an underdog...
