Welcome to another podcast by Inside Carolina.com, the independent voice of UNC Sports,

your home for Tar Heel football, basketball, and recruiting.

I'm your host Tommy Ashley.

I'm joined by Ross Martin, Greg Barnes, and Sherell McMillan a little bit earlier than we thought we might be doing a postseason basketball rap, but we're doing it.

And Greg, I'm going to come to you first because I think it's relevant.

We were talking off the air about perspective.

Carolina, of course, goes out in the second round this year.

And there's two ways to take that loss. I'll let you start us off and we'll kind of wing it from there.

Well, if you go back to the end of last season, championship season, and then you hear Tony

Bradley's leaving, and you start looking at the roster saying holy cow they have absolutely nothing in the front court I mean maybe

make and develop a little bit but you really have to have these freshmen come on and

that was our conversation your last preseason is for North Carolina have any kind of decent

season you got to have a Huffman you've got to have a man for North Carolina to have any kind of decent season

you've got to have a Huffman,

you've got to have a manly,

you've got to have a Brooks really develop.

And then Luke May does what he does.

And we knew what

we had a really good idea

of what Joel Barry was going to be able to do.

But Luke May played incredibly better than anybody would have ever thought.

First team all ICC.
