No. 3: North Carolina Tar Heels

Posted Nov 5, 2007

The conversation always starts with Tyler Hansbrough, who is in his third season as the go-to guy with the Tar Heels. "Psycho T" plays as hard as anyone in the country and is a workhorse in the paint — averaging 18.4 points and 7.9 boards per game last year. The key to the team will be a trio of sophomores — point guard Ty Lawson, big man Deon Thompson and silky shooting guard Wayne Ellington. (FOX Sports)
