CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- North Carolina's team has different components, but the Tar Heels have the same goal as a season ago, when they won the national championship.
The season begins for No. 9 North Carolina on Friday night at home against Northern Iowa.
"We have so many new guys, different kind of feel around the locker room," junior forward Luke Maye said. "But we all have the same goals in mind, and we all want to do it again."
This is the 55th season in 70 years that the Tar Heels have had a top 10 ranking for at least one week.
