After luring in another no. 1 pick the North Carolina Tarheels are dealing with the injury bug. With only 2 senior left on the team from last year the top ACC team have their setbacks for their season opener. Roy Williams has to find replacements in the starting lineup due to the preseason injuries shared by Tyler Hansbrough and Bobby Frasor. These guys were be big losses for the Heels who are ready to take the no. 1 spot in the country again and stay atop the ACC. The schedule won't be an easier with the absences to their two seniors as the time table for their return is indefinite now.
With newcomer, John Henson and 4 other freshman abroad the Tarheels will probably make the best of a bad temporary situation. They still have Will Graves and Deon Thompson returning, providing a lift on the offensive end. Knowing Roy Williams, he will concentrate on putting together the best group on the court available and preach fundamentals with pressure defense. To kick off the schedule UNC will face Pennsylvania for their first game then the dread Kentucky Wildcats who knocked them out in the 2007 Final Four. The Tarheels will look for redemption in this contest. If all goes well Carolina will stay balanced with steady play. They no doubt will be one of the top teams in the ACC as well as in the country.
