Bill Hass on the ACC: Tar Heels Find 'Security Blankets' Inside
Posted Feb 23, 2011
When a basketball team is plagued by inconsistency from its perimeter game, it better have something it can count on inside. And North Carolina has gotten exactly that kind of play from Tyler Zeller and John Henson. The two tall post players – Zeller is a 7-footer and Henson is 6-10 – have delivered the kind of game-in, game-out performances that have helped lift the Tar Heels to records of 10-2 in ACC play and 20-6 overall.
