Fresh mix could be the key to Heels' title run
Posted Jul 24, 2006
North Carolina is the obvious choice to win the ACC. The Tar Heels are loaded with talent and should be a hot pick to make the Final Four. It won't happen, though, if the team's sophomores -- especially the three who aren't named Tyler Hansbrough -- fail to welcome a stellar freshman class with open arms. So far, there is a good vibe brewing in Chapel Hill. The love started back in late March, when Roy Williams sat the returning players down and told them the obvious -- that everyone needed to get along with the newcomers.
