Larkins: last year's team was better

Posted Jan 4, 2007

Erlana Larkins isn't wowed by this year's version of the North Carolina Lady Tar Heels. "I think last year's team was better," UNC's standout center said Wednesday as the Tar Heels prepared for tonight's ACC home opener against Virginia Tech at 7 p.m. On paper, UNC is chewing through opponents with the same ruthless efficiency as last year's squad, which went 33-2 and reached the Final Four before losing to Maryland.
