Tar Heels have high ceiling in trying year for Roy Williams

Posted Oct 9, 2013
Despite the ups and down with P.J. Hairston, the potential upside for this Tar Heel team is higher than the group that went 25-11 overall, 12-6 in the ACC last season. It all hinges, of course, on the P.J. factor. If Hairston only misses a few games and can mind his manners inside the locker room and outside the gym, the Heels should be a national top-10 team.
