UNC a title contender in 2015-16, but NCAA threat remains

Posted Apr 15, 2015
Even with J.P. Tokoto's exit, the Tar Heels are expected to be one of the top national title contenders in 2015-16, likely moving ahead of ACC counterpart Virginia following its loss of Justin Anderson. The absence of Tokoto creates an opening for the Theo Pinson (or possibly Brandon Ingram) to emerge. The NCAA's handling of an academic scandal at the school will also be a storyline to follow.
