An early look at the schools with the best freshmen
Posted Dec 8, 2005
Lo and behold, UNC knocked off Kentucky on the road last week and now finds itself in the Top 25 as the only ranked team starting at least three freshmen. Tyler Hansbrough is the best of the bunch, averaging a team-high 17.8 points and 7.3 boards, but he's getting lots of help from fellow rookie starters Marcus Ginyard and Bobby Frasor. (Danny Green is the fourth Tar Heel freshman getting significant minutes for coach Roy Williams.)
