No two teams are the same, and Roy Williams says he will still push this year’s team.

This year’s iteration of the Tar Heels does have some experience, with seniors Marcus Ginyard and Deon Thompson.  However, the Heels do give significant minutes to underclassmen like point guard Larry Drew and forward Tyler Zeller. 

The Tar Heels will go to New York City to take on Ohio State, a definite step up in difficulty.  Williams says the Buckeyes are a very talented team, and junior Evan Turner can play at four different positions.

Thursday’s game is scheduled to tip off at 9:15 p.m.  WCHL’s coverage will start at 7 p.m. with Countdown to Tip-off featuring live reports from former Tar Heel Dewey Burke.
