Preschoolers Show UNC Players Some Love After Heartbreaking Loss to Villanova

Nothing anyone can say to the North Carolina Tar Heels will take the sting out of last week's heartbreaking loss to Villanova in the championship game.

Not now, not tomorrow, not ever.

Still, some words of encouragement could help the team move on a little easier. That's why Candace Morgan and Rose DeLaTorre wanted their Triangle Day School (Durham, North Carolina) class to take some time to write letters to the North Carolina squad and tell the players to keep their heads up.

Not a bad lesson in compassion.

Some of you might find it odd that a school in Durham (the home of Duke University) is showing love to the Tar Heels, but the reason for that is Morgan is a North Carolina alum.

It's been tough for Tar Heels fans to shake off the devastating loss. While the pain won't be going away anytime soon, these letters should at least bring a smile to the players' faces.
