Rashad McCants
Rashad McCants and the young Tar Heels are now 5-0.
Forget the fact this team is coming off an eight-victory season. Forget that the squad this season is dominated by freshmen. Remember one thing, this is North Carolina. The Tar Heels showed they're back, and they're for real, cruising to a 74-57 victory over Stanford on Friday to win the Preseason NIT.

  • Third place: Florida leaves No. 2 Kansas 0-for-New York | Katz: Jayhawks struggling
  • Semis: Darcy: Opportunistic Stanford | Forde: Matt who? | NIT Challenge
