The Tar Heels look as dysfunctional as they did in Friday’s 73-65

Not if The Tar Heels look as dysfunctional as they did in Friday's 73-65 overtime victory against No. 13 Ohio.

And certainly, not if Harrison Barnes plays that embarrassingly bad again.

Did I properly convey angst? If not, reread with breathy, angry inflection because freaking out seemed to be the accepted response to North Carolina not drilling Ohio en route to a date with Kansas in the Elite Eight. Being basketball royalty has a price. It is acceptable to be good, not lucky. Even Williams talked about feeling faint and needing a hug afterward.

"These people don't go to the race track, they don't understand the process. They don't understand sometimes where this sport is. They're great business people. They're past drivers, champions, past sports car racers, past engine builders. Doesn't make any difference. I think they should be judged by their peers. In this environment, in this environment we race in today, if you commit a crime or you do something, you should be judged by people who understand the sport and what is going on. And I don't think the appeals process is a good process, but at the same time, I don't think the fine or what they've done to Jimmie Johnson and Chad Knaus is anywhere near legit. It's total BS. They never should have fined them because the car never made it onto the race track."

To note, the Michael Waltrip Racing teams of Martin Truex Jr. and David Reutimann and the JTG Daugherty team of Bobby Labonte were all docked 25 points for unapproved windshields at Talladega last fall. Those windshields were never on track. The teams' crew chiefs were also suspended for the final four races of the season.
