Transit and basketball season in review

Last week I got the opportunity to visit the London Transport Museum. Let me tell you this place is an absolute gem. If you love trains, you have to come here. It's located in Covent Garden, which I had been to previously. The building is a unique, shed-like facility which adds to the authenticity. Scattered throughout the museum are replicas of train carriages, subways, buses, and horse and buggies which you can you in. There are several interactive exhibits including one which features a diorama of London's streets while they are being excavated during the construction of the tube.  There are also several maps along the wall of where the original lines went. Admission is a little steep, like most things over here, but I got a student discount and on top of that my ticket is valid for a whole year! This place is great for all ages. By the way I also rode the Central line of the tube all the way to the end, at West Ruislip. Yes, I'm that dedicated.
Changing gears, I'd like to take this opportunity to reflect on my beloved Tar Heels' accomplishments this season but also look ahead to next season. As I feared, we ran into a brick wall against Kansas last night and got demolished in the second half, despite giving it all we had. I think our accomplishments this season were notable, despite losing to Duke twice. After losing the likes of Tyler Zeller, Harrison Barnes, Kendall Marshall, and John Henson, we knew we would be faced with a tall order. Roy's decision to go to a smaller lineup was key in fueling our late season success. The question now of course is, will we continue to grow next season or will we have to start from square one again. That depends mostly on whether Hairston, McAdoo, and Mcdonald stick around and whether we can add another post presence. UNC basketball is about playing with resilience and having a great transition game, and that will depend on who we lose and who we gain over the next several months. There are too many unknowns at this point to determine what kind of team we'll be. You also have to factor in the addition of teams like Syracuse and Pitt to the ACC, which will present new challenges, but also possibly motivate players to play at a higher level. I do think next season will be entertaining without a doubt, but I hope it's just as much fun for the Heels as it is for everyone else.
