Virginia’s Bold Strategy Set to Dismantle Tar Heels – Can Anyone Stop Them? – Page 3

North Carolina isn’t getting a lot of hype this season, and frankly, something surprising is happening over in Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels were a team that had a ton of talent coming each and every season. I know they are still good and still have good players, but who is the last truly great player that donned the baby blue? There have been some good, maybe even great, college players, but who has gone onto the NBA to have success like so many others before them? The most recent I can think of is Coby White on the Bulls, and he is at best a third option, and probably would be best as a scoring sixth man. Walker Kessler and Cam Johnson are both in the NBA and very good, but not superstars. The last superstar they have had was probably Vince Carter in 1998. Maybe they have found one in freshman standout Caleb Wilson, but time will tell. In any case, the team has struggled lately, losing three of the past five games, all three on the road. They fell to SMU, then Stanford, and finally Cal. The loss to SMU was the worst, dropping that game by 14 points. They also have lost a game on a neutral floor to Michigan State earlier in the year with a 74-58 loss.
