DeCock: Basketball pendulum swings back to Tar Heels
Posted Apr 8, 2011
Without a basketball being dribbled, the great pendulum of superiority in the ACC swung back toward North Carolina this week. Kyrie Irving is leaving Duke for the NBA. UNC's Tyler Zeller and John Henson are staying in college. Harrison Barnes still has yet to make a decision about his future as a Tar Heel, but it's almost immaterial at this point. Duke loses its three best players. North Carolina could have back all of its best players.
