(1)UNC off to a blazing start

Three weeks into the season, number one ranked North Carolina is on a tear. They've racked up six straight blowout victories, the last three in the Maui Invitational to bring home the trophy. With their unmatched depth, the Tar Heels (6-0) are enjoying an excellent start to the season despite missing key players due to injuries.

All-American and reigning National Player of the Year Tyler Hansbrough has been limited to three games but scored 34 points during the today's Maui championship duel against eighth-ranked Notre Dame. Senior starter Marcus Ginyard is out until December due to a fractured foot. Freshman Center Tyler Zeller broke his wrist trying to break a fall last week versus Kentucky. He is expected to miss the entire season.
