North Carolina Tarheels


The North Carolina Tarheels are enjoying, yet another successful season under head coach Roy Williams. They are currently sitting at #3 in the AP poll with a record of 23-2 overall and 10-2 in the ACC conference and looking for another #1 seed in the 2009 NCAA Tournament. Player of the Year candidate, Tyler Hansbrough has been providing a steady dose of offense averaging 21.4 points and 7.5 rebounds a game. All starting players are averaging double digits in points for the Tarheels. Guard, Ty Lawson is averaging 15. 9 points and 6.5 assists per game and guard, Wayne Ellington is also averaging 15.1 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. The Tarheels have one of the deepest bench in college basketball. With their ability to pull players such as Bobby Frasor, a prolific 3 point shooter and defensive player, Marcus Ginyard, an experienced senior with good ball handling skills, and Ed Davis, a freshman averaging 6.5 points and 7.3 rebounds a game with a bright future; the Tarheels could make a serious run at a national championship this year and for many years to come.
