Is Swagger the Tar Heels' Missing Link?

Posted Dec 31, 2013
What I like the most about this group of Tar Heels may be its greatest downfall. They are fun-loving, personable guys with high character. Unfortunately, that might mean these kids are incapable of developing the swagger necessary to put them over the top on a consistent basis. The Tar Heels need the guy that wears his emotion. Michael Jordan and Tyler Hansbrough weren't on the floor to make friends. They were hungry. (Bleacher Report)
