The Switch Has Flipped for UNC Basketball
With three games left before March, there should be real optimism. The Tar Heels are 22-6 and beating quality opponents without one of the best players in the country. Just as important, if not more, the depth is improving and gaining confidence. The last few games, this team's ceiling is pretty high. "The sky is the limit for us,"
Derek Dixon said. (

No basketball program regularly places two players on the All-ACC first team anymore. (UNC has done it only once since 2012.) In fact, in each of the past five seasons, the five first-team members have represented five different ACC schools. There’s a possibility that will change this year, thanks to forward
Caleb Wilson and center
Henri Veesaar. (
