Freshmen lead UNC by Penn
Posted Nov 16, 2008
North Carolina figured it had enough returning talent to pass its first test without Tyler Hansbrough. It turns out the Tar Heels' front-line newcomers are pretty good, too. Tyler Zeller scored a team-high 18 points while fellow freshman Ed Davis had 10 points and 14 rebounds to help North Carolina beat Pennsylvania 86-71, a season-opening performance that seemed to indicate the Tar Heels can weather the uncertainty of playing without Hansbrough.
