Wright stars in debut as Heels roll

Posted Nov 2, 2006

Preseason or exhibition, whatever you want to call it, North Carolina used Wednesday’s basketball game with St. Augustine’s as a public unveiling. And there’s plenty to see in the fourth and deepest version of Roy Williams’ Tar Heels. There are shiny new post players, speedy new guards, a new-but-old fullcourt press and the same old Tyler Hansbrough. The whole menagerie was display on Wednesday in the Tar Heels’ 110-79 win over St. Aug’s. (Raleigh News & Observer)
