Young backcourt the key for No. 20 Tar Heel women
Posted Nov 10, 2011
North Carolina coach Sylvia Hatchell heads into the season wondering how good her young backcourt can be. She knows it could determine how much these Tar Heels accomplish. The 20th-ranked Tar Heels were picked to finish sixth in the Atlantic Coast Conference after losing longtime point guard Cetera DeGraffenreid, shooting guard Italee Lucas and forward Jessica Breland from a 28-win team.
