Top 50 countdown: No. 1 North Carolina
Posted Nov 7, 2011
Give Roy Williams credit. Expectations are extremely high for his North Carolina basketball team after Harrison Barnes, John Henson and Tyler Zeller all delayed their NBA dreams and returned for the 2011-12 season. The Tar Heels are the preseason No. 1 pick in every poll and the favorite to win their third NCAA title under Williams. Rather than trying to run from those expectations, though, Williams is embracing them.
