Can Anybody Stop The Heels?

I know it’s a little early to start speculating regarding the NCAA Tournament, especially since March Madness is three months away. With all the twist and turns that occur throughout the college basketball season and throughout the tournament itself, who knows what could happen.

But it’s hard to think that this just might be North Carolina’s year.

The Tar Heels are the first unanimous preseason number one team, in The Associated Press poll.

If anyone saw the hyped-up game against Michigan State last night, which analyst predicted would be a hard-fought buzzer-beater, the result pretty much speaks for itself.

Tyler Hansbrough led the Heels with 23 points and 11 rebounds, catapulting his team to a 98-63 trounce of the Spartans.

At 8 – 0, I’m starting to wonder who in the field can give this team a run for its money. Michigan State was supposed to do that and look what happened.

I guess I’ll wait patiently for the Duke/UNC match-up while the rest of you basketball nuts check out Hoops Fantasy for info, insight and advice on your basketball fantasy leagues.
