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. Still, the No. 1-ranked Tar Heels won by an average of 37 points in the games he sat out with a stress reaction in his right shin. Go ahead and pencil in the Tar Heels for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
