3. North Carolina Tar Heels

North Carolina looks as strong as any team in the nation this year. They have rolled to a 6-0 start while winning by an average of 31 points an evening. They have match-ups against Big Ten contenders Wisconsin on November 23 and at Indiana on November 30.

Juniors Joel Berry II and Justin Jackson have been the big one-two punch so far. They are combining for 32 points, nine rebounds and almost eight assists per game. The front court trio of Isaiah Hicks, Kennedy Meeks and Tony Bradley are all averaging double-figures as well and each have snagged over five boards per game thus far. There isn’t much of a hole anywhere on this team right now to believe they can’t make a major run in March.
