Final preseason basketball top 25 for 2009-10
Posted Oct 15, 2009
5. North Carolina: Just the simple fact that the defending champs have a legitimate shot to return to the Final Four after losing Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington and Danny Green — four starters — is amazing. This team will have no shortage of long and athletic big men with the return of Ed Davis and Tyler Zeller and the addition of John Henson, but point-guard play will determine how successful UNC is this season.
