Even if John Henson is back, the Tar Heels could run into trouble in the NCAA tournament. They’ve struggled from the 3-point line in some of their tight games. A 68 percent mark from the charity stripe could hurt the Tar Heels, too, especially since three of their five losses were single-digit defeats. A team with a potent offense and a talented frontcourt that can rebound could put the Tar Heels in a tough spot. (ESPN.com)
