How about those Heels.  So far I’ve watched 3 Tarheels games. They play hard on both ends of the court and exude that Carolina tradition and pride that I have had a pleasure of watching ever since I was a child. Forward David Noel is leading the way by providing the senior leadership which freshmen on team follow. Although this is early and I won’t make any bold predictions, Carolina will surprise a lot of teams.  With the play of Reyshawn Terry and the emergence of freshmen Tyler Hansboro.  A birth to the NCAA’s big dance is not a far fetched prediction.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Reyshawn Terry scored 25 points to help North Carolina jolt No. 10 Kentucky 83-79 on Saturday, giving the Tar Heels a big road victory that ended the Wildcats' 11-game winning streak at Rupp Arena.

This was a matchup of basketball teams that rank 1-2 in NCAA Division I in overall wins, and defending champion North Carolina showed it is still plenty dangerous despite a depleted roster. The Tar Heels lost the top seven scorers from the team that won it all last season _ three to graduation and four to the NBA draft. (rest of the story)
