The North Carolina Tarheels have one remaining non-conference game vs. Saint Francis (PA). They are 9 and 4 with losses to tough teams like Vanderbilt, Texas, Minnesota, and Illinois. After their quality win vs. Kentucky, all the hype was about Tyler Zeller. He had an amazing game with 27 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 blocks. He is the leader of this young team. If people say Harrison Barnes is not doing well, that is because nobody could ever live up to his expectations. He was named to the Preseason First Team All American list. No freshman should ever be put under that pressure. If those expectations hadn't been placed on him like that, then most people would think averaging 12 points and 6 rebounds a game was pretty good for a freshman having played against 11 teams 500% or above. I still think UNC will make it to the tournament having played well against quality teams but I'm changing my pick for the Elite 8, to the Second Round.
