North Carolina has the look of a No. 1 team

Posted Nov 14, 2007

To outside observers, the Tar Heels certainly look as if they’re the best. Top ranked in both the coaches and media polls, they have three starters back from last season’s Elite Eight team. That includes national player-of-the-year candidate Tyler Hansbrough with those magnet hands and nimble feet inside. Despite losing the likes of No. 8 NBA draft pick Brandan Wright, Williams has another team built for a championship. (Kansas City Star)
