ACC preview: Despite imperfections, UNC remains team to beat
Posted Dec 23, 2011
There aren’t many secrets about the Tar Heels. They have the best frontcourt duo in the country in John Henson and Tyler Zeller, they have a potential top-five pick in the '12 NBA Draft in Harrison Barnes, they have an assist-machine point guard in Kendall Marshall, and they have a couple of youngsters who have filled the void in perimeter shooting in Reggie Bullock and P.J. Hairston. When playing well, the Tar Heels are unbeatable.
