The2008–09 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team represented theUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The head coach wasRoy Williams. The team played its home games in theDean Smith Center inChapel Hill, North Carolina, and was a member of theAtlantic Coast Conference. The team won the2009 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, the fifth NCAA national title in school history. Considered one of the greatest teams in college basketball history, the Tar Heels won their six NCAA tournament games by double digits, and by an average of 19.8 points per game. They were ranked as the 30th best team in college basketball history by Bleacher Report in 2012.[1]

Preseason

[edit]

The Tar Heels were a trendy pick to win the National Championship that year, primarily becauseWayne Ellington,Danny Green andTy Lawson decided to withdraw from the2008 NBA draft, and consensus national Player of the YearTyler Hansbrough never declared for that draft.[2] In addition, the players had been embarrassed in the previous season'sFinal Four by Kansas, and they were motivated to atone for that poor performance. In the preseason ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll the Tar Heels were ranked #1. They were the first unanimous preseason #1 ranking in the history of the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll.[3] UNC also received the first unanimous preseason #1 ranking in the history of the Associated Press Poll.[4]

Schedule

[edit]

The Tar Heels rolled through the nonconference schedule, along the way winning theMaui Invitational for the third time. They sputtered out of the gate to start ACC play, dropping their first two conference games toBoston College andWake Forest. However, they recovered to reel off 10 straight conference wins, including a 101–87 thrashing of rivalDuke. Their only relatively close games during this stretch came against the ACC's two Florida teams—most notably againstFlorida State, in which they escaped with a Ty Lawson buzzer-beater.

They lost toMaryland in overtime, but recovered to win their last three games. A win overVirginia Tech gave the Tar Heels at least a share of their 27th regular season title (which are not recognized by the ACC as official championships; the tournament winner is declared champion), and third in a row. They won the title outright with a season-ending win over Duke.

TheACC tournament did not go nearly as well, largely because Ty Lawson was sidelined with an injured big toe. They needed a last-minute score to defeat Virginia Tech, then fell to Florida State in the second round. Still, the Tar Heels were rewarded with the #2 ranking in the final AP Poll, behindLouisville. They also finished third in the final regular-season Coaches Poll, behind Louisville andMemphis.

Despite not making it to the ACC title game, the Tar Heels received the top seed in theNCAA South Region. It was the 13th time the Tar Heels had been selected as a #1 seed—the most since the NCAA began seeding the tournament field in 1979. It is also UNC's 41st NCAA appearance—tied withUCLA for the second-most in history.

The Tar Heels played their first- and second-round games at theGreensboro Coliseum, just an hour west of Chapel Hill. They easily dispatchedRadford andLSU to advance to the regionals at theFedExForum inMemphis. In the regional round, the Heels dismantledGonzaga 93–77. In the regional final, they defeatedOklahoma 72–60 to advance to the Final Four for the 18th time in school history—tied with UCLA for the most ever. The wins in the regional phase were also the school's 100th and 101st wins in the NCAA Tournament, passingKentucky for most all-time, although Kentucky has reclaimed the top spot as of 2019.

The Tar Heels were the highest seed to reach the Final Four atFord Field inDetroit; they were the overall #3 seed in the tournament behind Louisville andPittsburgh. In the national semifinal, the Tar Heels poundedVillanova 83–69 to advance to the national championship game for the ninth time in school history. They played againstMichigan State, whom the Tar Heels defeated 98–63 during the December 2008ACC-Big Ten Challenge. They were no less dominant in the title game, winning 89–72 for the school's fifth NCAA national title—tied for the third-most all-time. The win capped off one of the most dominant runs in the tournament's history. The Tar Heels won every game by at least 12 points—a feat all the more remarkable since they upended four teams ranked in the top 15 of the final AP Poll in the process (#10 Gonzaga, #7 Oklahoma, #11 Villanova and #8 Michigan State). They also led for all but 10 minutes of a possible 240 minutes of game time. It also allowed Tyler Hansbrough and his fellow seniors to end their careers as the winningest class in school history.

Wayne Ellington was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player, the fourth Tar Heel to earn the award.
