UNC Basketball: Early Concerns for Tar Heels in 2015-16
Despite coming into the 2015-16 season with high expectations, there are already concerns surrounding the North Carolina Tar Heels.
The preseason No. 1 team in the nation had three dominant wins over inferior opponents before dropping a road game to Northern Iowa. The neutral-court win over Northwestern also featured some sloppy play early before UNC finally pulled away in the second half.
Unlike college football, however, a few bad showings earlier in the year will not derail a season. There is also a whole lot to like from this group, including impressive frontcourt play, resilience without Marcus Paige and the recent emergence of Justin Jackson.
