UNC on its heels, but not sweating

Posted Nov 1, 2008
North Carolina was voted the unanimous No.1 in Friday's Associated Press preseason basketball poll partially because of its wealth of returning experience.

With reigning national player of the year Tyler Hansbrough sidelined until at least mid-November because of a stress reaction in his right shin, freshmen forwards Tyler Zeller and Ed Davis are playing a bigger role in practice.
