    I view the 2009 Tar Heels as the sharpened weapon. This was the best that the Hansbrough teams were ever going to get. They knew each other and played together for three or four years. Getting Davis was just the icing on the cake, like gettingMarvin Williamswas for the 2005 squad. With that in mind there is little else to say. The simulator better not screw this one up.
