4. North Carolina Tar Heels

Previously Ranked: 3

Record: 8-1

The loss to Indiana was a bit surprising, but UNC came back and slaughtered Radford to get back on a winning track. The Tar Heels will take on Kentucky December 17th before trying to avenge last season’s upset at the hands of Northern Iowa.

Justin Jackson and Joel Berry II are virtually tied for the team lead in scoring at 16.1 and 16.0 points respectively. Berry gets the slight edge in production due to his team-leading 4.8 assists per game. Kennedy Meeks has also turned into a force down low with 13.3 points and 10.4 rebounds per contest. North Carolina has all the pieces to win their third title in 12 years.
