North Carolina Tar Heels

A super-young North Carolina outfit (two starters fresh out of high school; two more only sophomores) relies on speed and a deep bench to outlast opponents in typically high-scoring affairs. Youthful energy should prove invaluable during the grueling tournament. If they can crack down on defense, Tyler Hansbrough, the high-scoring (18.6 PPG), board-clearing (8.2 rebounds per game) baller should lead Micheal Jordan’s old team to the Elite Eight at least.
