UNC 2008-2009 Hoops Highlights Compilation

Just the TV highlights. No dumb music.

[@RockSmith-rl9qr]

This team is Roy's masterpiece

[@scottworley1479]

This was one of the best teams in UNC history in my opinion. Tyler Hansbrough couldn't have gotten the record without his teammates. Wayne Ellington, Ty Lawson, Danny Green, Deion Thompson, Marcus Ginyard and the fact that they all chose to stay in school for more than 1 year. That's rare these days. We need more like them. Go Heels

[@stayvigilant7856]

The only other team that was close to that talent was 2011-12 team with Marshall Barnes and Zeller

[@WitnessPluto]

Lalifter Fitness nah 2016 n 17 teams were stacked too. 2017 has to be my favorite UNC team just because of what happened the year prior

[@bzgotjays]

Scott Worley First thing. Hans rough is the GOAT. but...Lawson and Ellington both left as juniors. Ed Davis was huge off the bench and left after freshman year. Danny Greens impact cannot be replicated. Ginyard was hurt all this year too. Imagine if he wasn’t...those were great times. Nothing better than watching Ellington shoot. Such a pure shot.

[@scottworley1479]

@@bzgotjays I agree about Ellington, he had like a cole Anthony like jump shot. I knew they stayed atleast 3 years. Tyler 4 though

[@lucaslarson430]

Ellington and Lawson left early

[@TheCman273]

Greatest team I've ever seen and Tyler Hansbrough is the greatest player I've ever seen

[@Rick-wn5oh]

This was my absolute favorite team and I have been watching since the late 60s.

[@willthecreator]

Ive only been watching college basketball since 2007 but this is the best team that i have seen yet they should have went undefeated I just have not seen a team as domainent in the NCAA tornoment as this win. When they were at their best no one could stop them.

[@stayvigilant7856]

Still the best UNC team in a while!!! That team was Soo stacked!!!

[@RonBand01]

Just wanted to say thanks for this video. There were several games that I did not get to see during the 2008-09 run. I still think that this was a better team than the 1982 team. This team did not have a weakness in players. They should have gone undefeated but they picked up the championship and beat Dook 2 times during the regular season..

[@annetteharris1524]

This my favorite Tar Heel team. Just think, had Ginyard not had trouble with his foot surgery, had Tyler Zeller not had his hand broken in the Kentucky game, Had Hansbrough not had the shin thing early, and Ty the toe late....this team did it all, but, as amazing as these guys were, it could have been even better!

[@revpgesqredux]

excellent points

[@Rick-wn5oh]

Hansborough was amazing. He wasn't that high of a leaper and his shot looked kind of off at times which made people think that they could block him and they would occasionally. But just as likely they would just swat at the ball and collect a foul. And he was so strong he would still make the shot and then just go to the line for 3 point play. He did that over and over through his 4 year career. My second most favorite player behind Phil Ford. I watched Phil Ford play when I was in high school.

[@RockSmith-rl9qr]

love these uploads man thank you

[@thomastripp9002]

Quite possibly the last GREAT College Basketball team!!! This team was GREAT!!! Hansbrough, Frasor, Green, etc...They were really fun to watch

[@michaelangelo9024]

This team is the best I've seen since Duke had Laettner and the others in the 91-92 years.

[@christschool]

Psycho T was my favorite player at UNC. He accomplished a lot with little.

[@dannyhollandjr7651]

I agree this is the best 3 point shooting team ever at Carolina.

[@jackiemanuel]

Thanks for compiling this. Great memories.

[@albertburnette7989]

Lawson n Ellington are our best championship backcourt ever.

[@janeray6532]

i love this squad so much...a well oiled machine baby!

[@brendaanderson6390]

That’s my favorite team Tarheel go heels love you guys 1# Tar Heels ❤❤❤❤

[@annetteharris1524]

Great video also, thank you Gary!

[@Antbeast23]

Danny green was amazing defender

[@josephdunn3757]

You won't believe anyways! I knew Danny Green was the shit even back then!!!

[@YungPnut2404]

The memories.. Wow

[@Rick-wn5oh]

Michigan State did not belong on the floor with North Carolina that night. They could not match up with them. North Carolina had beat them earlier in the year by double digits and they did it again that night. It's not really Michigan state's fault. There was really no one in the nation that could handle North Carolina that year.

[@michaelangelo9024]

Carolina 98-63 vs Sparty the first time. I was pulling for UCONN so Carolina could score 105 points in the Finals. Oh well.

[@80sPastorDude]

I was in Greensboro and when Danny hit that three to extend the lead against LSU the place erupted.

[@scottworley1479]

They could've went undefeated in 09

[@bencoorough9631]

05-06' was my favorite. Ray Felton, Sean May, Rashaad McCants, Marvin Williams, Jawad Williams, Jackie Manuel etc. Illinois was supposed to win 🤷‍♂️

[@michaelangelo9024]

Actually, Carolina beat Illinois in Greensboro the year prior to this title match. I wasn't worried much. The best won. 2009 UNC team was better than the 05 squad. No doubt.

[@bull6599]

That was actually 04-05. 05-06 was Hansbrough's freshman year.

[@michaelangelo9024]

@@bull6599 2005-06 was Tyler's freshman year. If Carolina wouldn't have blown a double degit lead he could've went to 3 Final 4s.

[@Andrew-mp9hu]

This team was a well-oiled machine. Good lord.

[@Rick-wn5oh]

And this was the team that Tar Heels had the beat in the championship game later that year. That game was just as embarrassing for Michigan State as this one

[@kalaspears6288]

Yea but i still say mich st was good and i know they won in the semi beating uconn. But uncon I still say uncon had a off night i remmber uconn was the only team that really had a chance at beating unc or makeing it a closer game I remmber all year tggat yeaff in school everyone said unc is goid but uconn is right behind them i just wish uconn could have played them

[@kalaspears6288]

Sorry about my spelling im not use to this new phone i got lol but Talking about unc,s best team whats this team now the worst team roy ever had i no next year they will be good but do u think they will have a chance at the nit

[@steveflowers733]

Davis needs to show his players real Carolina Basketball

[@havenone4109]

One of the most complete college team ever!

[@mrdrdout7775]

Only thing to dislike about the video is hearing dookie V too much

[@trapoganda1660]

This team was motherf****** stacked….

[@davidfisher462]

70000 at Ford Field

[@waynegilyard4743]

The ceiling is the roof.go.tarheels.

[@flipinflipperry]

1:10 How do u play UNC basketball and beat a defense down the court? Get the ball all the way down the court into a go ahead 3 with only one dribble.

[@wjhandy]

The basketball equivalent to a Led Zeppelin board tape

[@jgodoy_]

Ty Lawson was abusing those Dook guards 💀💀😂😂😂😂

[@edenkalepa9628]

Go Tarheels

[@rodneysessoms8804]

It's a shame what happened with Will Graves 😥

[@deemann123]

trim them shorts tho

[@evansman33]

is that stephen a smith at 45:48?

[@marthamott]

Nah

[@Rick-wn5oh]

Drew Berry was a spoilt bum.

[@lucaslarson430]

Agreed. He could’ve stayed and helped us get to another title and instead he got his panties in a bunch because he sucked and Marshall took his spot
