They may be
young, but the Tar Heels can pass, shoot, score and rebound. UNC averages
nearly 80 points per game, putting them in the top 20 in the nation. And
it’s not only due to their style of play. North Carolina hits their shots,
led by freshman Tyler Hansbrough who knocks down about 59% of his attempts.
The Tar Heels also are in the top ten in the nation in rebound margin and
assists. Of course it can’t all be good. North Carolina turns the ball
over almost as much as they dish it out, and it’s not just the freshmen at
fault.
