Not that match-up that everyone was waiting for....but the #1 Seed in the Southeast....the Pittsburgh PANTHERS, led by Coach Jamie DUKES and all-world Back court of Ashton GIBBS and Brad WANNAMAKER, take on the #2 Seed North Carolina TAR HEELS of the EAST Regional for the NAtional Chgampuonship in Rocket City......HOUSTON TEXAS.

The match-up will be won if PITT can handle the slick guard play of FRESHMAN PG Kendall MARSHALL and contain the 'HEELS inside game of ZELLER, HENSON, and HARRISON.

The 'HEELS must contain the Offensive trebounding of the PANTHERS and their dynamic back court ledy by Playmaker 2G Brad WANANMAKER and PG Ashton GIBBS.

If both of these teams can contain these different optiuons or scenarios it will be up for grabs as it will come down to Execution and Free THrows.

The game starts out as the PITT back court makes the 'HEELS play back on their feet as Wannamaker and Gibbs are playing out of their mind and the PANTHERS are up 20-13 early 1st half.

In thje ladder part of the 1st half the 'HEELS start to create sominance in the paint as ZELLER and HENSON start to make the PANTHERS account for them and HARRISON BARNES starts to inside and out on the PANTHERS.

Panthers Coach Jamie DUKES knows for them to have a chance i this one ....PICK your POISON......take away HARRISON or the 'HEELS inside game.....'HEELS lead at half 39-36.

The 2nd half starts as the 'HEELS come out and dominate from the jump and take a 12 point lead as they take a 12 point lead 50-38 and are on a 11-2 run to start 2nd half.

The PANTHERS make their adjustmenst and WANNAMAKER and GIBBS start to get into the paint and in transition to cut the lead to 60-57 with under 5 minutes to go in the contest.

The 'HEELS start isolating the Freshamn BARNES and NBA SCouts are drooling over this MAn -CHILD as he starts to play his back to the basket and post up using his bosy and a myriad of up and unders and mid-range SHOTS.......the PANTHERS acn't handle them and the game has slipped away from PITT...as they are forced to foul and hope that UNC misses and they don't.

The FINAL Score is PITT 68 - UNC 77 as BARNES and UNC Free throw shooting prove to be too much and HARRISON BARNES is FINAL FOUR MVP and cements himself as a TOP 3 PICK in the upcoming 2011 NBA DRAFT.

ROY WILLIAMS gets his 3rd National Championship in the last 7 yeras and the man that recruited one MICHAEL JEFFREY JORDAN out of WILMINGTON NC LANEY HS PIRATES is officially out of the DEAN SMITH SHADOW.....WOW.
