Heels impress Leitao

Posted Jan 10, 2007

Had voters done the unexpected this week and not ranked North Carolina No.1, Dave Leitao's opinion wouldn't have changed. Leitao, the University of Virginia's second-year coach, holds the Tar Heels in the highest regard "I like to think I watch a lot of basketball, and I'm pretty convinced that we're playing against, obviously the No. 1 team in the country, not just because the polls will rank them there this week, but because they are," Leitao said Monday.
