Previewing the North Carolina Tar Heels

Posted Feb 6, 2011
Outside of Duke there’s not a team in the ACC that can match the talent of North Carolina (16-5, 6-1). The Tar Heels have on their roster six consensus top-25 recruits, where the rest of the ACC (minus Duke) combines for seven spread amongst ten teams. They also have Harrison Barnes who’s the only player in the conference that was the consensus #1 recruit in the country for any year. Suffice it to say that they’re talented. (Tomahawk Nation)
