Tar Heels need to balance youth, veterans
Posted Nov 8, 2018
The North Carolina basketball team, with the addition of top recruits Nassir Little, Coby White and Leaky Black, has more than enough talent to make another serious run at a championship this season. But talent can only take a team so far. Especially when that team is built around a group of upperclassmen that has already earned rings. Chemistry figures to be just as important.
