Heels top the charts

Posted Nov 9, 2008
In a press conference a couple of weeks ago, North Carolina basketball coach Roy Williams was asked to name his team's "glaring weakness" from last season. "You know, we won 36 frickin' games and got everybody back," he said, relaying the story again recently, "so there shouldn't be any 'glaring weakness' out there." The coaches agreed, unanimously naming the Tar Heels their No. 1 team for the first time in the history of the USAToday/Coaches preseason poll. (Raleigh News & Observer)
