After losing some key players from its Final Four run, there is a bit of mystery surrounding North Carolina heading into next season.
The Tar Heels are obviously in good shape after returning three starters and six of its top eight scorers, but you never know what will happen when players attempt to step into bigger roles. Even as a projected top contender both in the ACC and nationally, the upcoming season should be full of surprises in both good and bad ways.
Of course, the season cannot be judged only be the end result. The number of wins and the round reached in the NCAA tournament will go down in the record books, but other factors of both the individual and team level will tell us a lot.
