Frontcourt matchup headlines UNC men's basketball's game against Duke

Caleb Wilson’s presence is matched by center Henri Veesaar, who gives UNC the true center it lacked last season. Veesaar averages 16.8 points and nine rebounds per game, but his value extends beyond traditional post play. Shooting 46 percent from 3-point range, the 7-footer pulls defenders from the basket, opening driving lanes for UNC’s guards. (Daily Tar Heel)

How Caleb Wilson can reach even greater heights for UNC basketball, NBA future

UNC's Place in the ACC Basketball Race

Not exactly sure how many teams are going to get into the NCAA Tournament, probably eight, which is a good number, but maybe not many on the top lines. Duke is angling for a number one seed. I think Virginia and Carolina, maybe NC State, if they close strong, maybe Clemson can push for a top four seed. That remains to be seen. We’re in February. (Inside Carolina)
