Lower expectations will greet 2012-13 Heels
Posted Mar 30, 2012
UNC lost its top scorer, defender and passer Thursday with the announcement that Harrison Barnes, John Henson and Kendall Marshall are leaving for the NBA. Combined with the graduation of ACC player of the year Tyler Zeller and versatile reserve Justin Watts — and a planned Mormon mission for backup point guard Stilman White — the Tar Heels are losing 69 percent of their scoring, 68 percent of their rebounding and 79 percent of their assists.
