ACC hoops power poll: A great eight from Tar Heels so far

Posted Dec 12, 2008
1. North Carolina (8-0) Who needs Tyler Hansbrough? UNC has been dominant despite only having Hansbrough for half its games thus far. OK, it certainly helps to have the big man, who's averaging 22 points and 6.8 rebounds per contest in four games.

Go ahead and pencil in the Tar Heels for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. (Daily Press)
