Scouting North Carolina

Posted Mar 23, 2007

"North Carolina just runs like crazy, and it's relentless about it because the Heels are so deep. They're going to push the game into the 80s and 90s; the first way you have to limit some of that scoring is by getting back on defense and keeping [Tyler] Hansbrough from getting as tight to the basket as he wants to get. Both he and Brandan Wright love to run full speed right down the middle, and they look to get the ball right next to the rim." (Sports Illustrated)
