Tar Heels’ talent not enough to save its season
Posted Feb 10, 2010
The Tar Heels are at No. 79 in the RPI. A win over Duke wouldn’t get UNC in the big dance, but it would be a good move in the right direction. The problem is Carolina doesn’t seem to have the talent, the passion or the experience to run the table and put itself back in the NCAA mix. It’s not easy to replace Tyler Hansbrough, Danny Green, Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington all at once.
