Psychic: Noel says he knew Heels would be contenders this soon

Posted Mar 9, 2006

David Noel says he knew in October what few others would have considered possible. Noel was confident that North Carolina, under Coach Roy Williams, would have a successful season and a chance to defend its NCAA championship despite having lost its top seven scorers from last season. "I just wanted to win and get it done by any means necessary," Noel said. (Winston-Salem Journal)
