At its best, North Carolina is one of the top college basketball teams in the nation, although this doesn't mean it is without issues.
The Tar Heels are off to an 8-2 start to the year, which is disappointing for the No. 1 team in the preseason polls but far from a reason to sound the alarm. The squad has one of the top scoring guards in the nation in Marcus Paige, an elite playmaker in the post in Brice Johnson as well as a deep roster of contributors who can carry the team for long stretches.
A highly efficient offense and dominant rebounding group make this a difficult team to beat.
