ACC basketball preview: Tar Heels reload after title run
Posted Oct 6, 2009
The defending champion North Carolina Tar Heels lost Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington and Danny Green. Yet they remain the favorites to win the ACC this season. Roy Williams' team welcomed a stellar freshman class led by long and talented big man John Henson, and North Carolina still has guys like Deon Thompson, Ed Davis and Marcus Ginyard to build around.
