Comparing UNC's 2016 team to the 2017 team

Posted Mar 16, 2017
There has been discussion comparing the 2016 and 2017 UNC basketball teams. There are similarities: ACC Regular Season Champions, split games against Duke, similar record heading into the NCAA Tournament. But there are also some stark differences: No Brice Johnson and Marcus Paige on the 2017 team, but a bigger role for Justin Jackson, Joel Berry, and Isaiah Hicks. (Carolina Blue)
