Heels better equipped to rebound from losses this time
Posted Apr 24, 2009
Carolina has not had to answer backcourt questions since Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington began playing for UNC. Now, it will. On top of that, UNC lost only one of the most accomplished players in its long history – Tyler Hansbrough – along with fellow departing seniors Danny Green and Bobby Frasor. In all, that’s four of UNC’s five starters from 2009. But this means nothing new for North Carolina coach Roy Williams.
