Do you remember March 24, 2019?
It seems like a generation ago, even a different century. How long ago was it? Coby White, Luke Maye, Nassir Little, and Cam Johnson were all on that team.
On that day Carolina throttled nine seed Washington 81-59, rebounding from an OK effort against sixteen seed Iona to go strong into the Sweet 16 and try to send Luke Maye out as a two-time NCAA Champion. It was believable that the Tar Heels could do it, as Little had shaken off some inconsistency and had a monster game, co-leading that team with points.
