Thanks in part again to Sophomore Tyler Hansbrough's hot shooting (9-13 FG) UNC prevailed over a Big South opponent to garner their second win. The 20 point performance from the 6'9 forward/center was enough to seal the deal. The Heels have a good returning lineup which includes Reshaun Terry, Bobby Frasor, Marcus Ginyard, and Tyler Hansbrough. A 7-point margin, however is not the the type of victories the Tarheels ring up against non-conference opponents. Terry, who is a proven scorer had an off-game, shooting 1-for-6 in the game and finished with 3 points.
Coach Roy Williams definitely doesn't have the team he did 2 years ago. The loss to George Mason in the Tournament was a surprise, but also a great learning experience for the freshmen. The early part of the schedule is unfavorable for the Tarheels. They're set to face Ohio State, Kentucky, Gonzaga the Rutgers, Saint Louis in November and December. The bench will have develop more and fill quality minutes. UNC will be put a test in the first half of the season. Luckily they'll have two sharp shooters, Wes Miller and Danny Green available off the bench.
The Tarheels will play Gardner Webber on Nov. 19. They shouldn't have any problems picking up another win. It should be tighter competition this year in the ACC as J.J. Redick, Robert Hite, and David Noel are gone and now in the NBA. There will be plenty of excitement in the air in college basketball, especially when tournament time rolls around.
