TO THE EDITOR:
What a great ride! From No. 1 in pre-season to the Elite Eight, the UNC men’s basketball team gave us a season to remember.
It’s tough to stay No. 1 when a quarter of the team is benched with injuries. (Imagine how the Kansas game might have turned out with Henson at 100 percent, McDonald, Strickland, Marshall and gutsy Stilman White.)
Under adverse circumstances, it’s tough to play with integrity (Creighton needs to study that word). And it’s hard to play with integrity against hard feelings (e.g., those Jayhawk fans who can’t move on).
But our team did.
To those Tar Heels considering the NBA, heed the words of Jackson Browne: “Stay just a little bit longer. We want to [see you] play just a little bit longer … Please, please, please say you will.”
