We are officially here, friends: the North Carolina Tar Heels are set to take on the UCLA Bruins in the Sweet Sixteen round of the NCAA Tournament. This is the furthest that the Heels have made it since the 2018-19 season, which was a game that I live to forget not because the team was bad, but because of how everything transpired. I will go to my grave salty that Cam Johnson and Nassir Little got sick, but it just furthers the point that these are humans playing this fantastic game that we call basketball. At least we weren’t supposed to go to the College World Series and had to bail because of COVID, right?
