Tar Heels establish themselves atop ACC

Posted Jan 5, 2007

North Carolina's recent defensive improvement isn't exactly good news for the rest of the ACC. The Tar Heels were league favorites when the season began, but now they are overwhelmingly the team to beat. And if UNC continues "getting it," as Marcus Ginyard says, it will enhance its already-high national stock. Carolina has issues, however. It starts three freshmen, not exactly a recipe for road success in the ACC or in March. (Wilmington Star News)
