Heels could see a repeat of 2005
Posted Apr 13, 2008
There's not a Marvin Williams in the mix, but UNC's basketball program could be tracking along the same course it went through in 2005. Following the national championship win over Illinois in '05, the Tar Heels lost Williams along with Rashad McCants, Raymond Felton and Sean May to the NBA Draft. The 2008 team is now awaiting decisions from sophomore guards Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington, plus junior center Tyler Hansbrough.
