UNC's title defense, Zags' follow-up top 2017-18 story lines
Posted Apr 4, 2017

The key question for the 2017-18 Tar Heels as they follow this year's run is how different the team will look. Seniors Kennedy Meeks, Isaiah Hicks and Nate Britt will be gone, and All-American Justin Jackson could join them in an early entry to the NBA draft.
