UNC Women's Basketball looks young
Posted Nov 5, 2009
For tonight's exhibition game against Francis Marion, the North Carolina women's basketball team will feature a roster brimming with young talent. But with youth comes inexperience, and the No. 5 Tar Heels are bracing for the possibility of a season without senior forward Jessica Breland, a 6-foot-3 preseason All-America candidate. Breland, the team's top returning scorer, was diagnosed this summer with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
