Analyst says Heels can go unbeaten
Posted Jan 1, 2009
How good is North Carolina? If you listen to ESPN analyst Steve Lavin, the sky is the limit for the Tar Heels, who pounded Nevada 84-61 Wednesday night to go 13-0 and maintain their No. 1 ranking. “They have a good chance to go undefeated in the regular season for the first time since Tark’s (Jerry Tarkanian’s) UNLV team in 1991 that got beat in the semifinals by Duke. “They have the firepower, the depth, the system and the coaching."
