With the No. 2-ranked freshman class bolstering the No. 11-ranked sophomore class, UNC’s women’s basketball team won’t lack for talent this season. With so much youth, there will be times when guidance from veteran players will be important. It didn’t take long for that to be the case. It happened during the Tar Heels’ first practice last Thursday. (Tar Heel Tribune)
