UNC, which welcomes just two freshman this year and returns its core and its starters from last season, has played through enough situations that it feels that experience should carry over. “It’s a big thing, I think it’s key,” senior Joel James said. “Because we’re such experienced guys, I feel like we’ve seen a lot of things on the court and it’ll just help us in all game situations.” (WRAL Sports Fan)
