NCAA Basketball North Carolina Tar Heels BettingNCAA baskeball Betting Online: The North Carolina Tar Heels will open the college basketball season as one of the favorites to win the national championship. North Carolina made the Elite Eight last season before losing to Kentucky. The team has high expectations because all five starters are returning from a team that went 29-8 last season. The Tar Heels seemed to get better as the year went along, finishing 14-2 in Atlantic Coast Conference play. North Carolina led the nation in rebounding last year and returns the same tall fron line.

Harrison Barnes highlights the list of returners. He struggled early on last season as a freshman, but finished the year averaging 15.7 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. Tyler Zeller also averaged 15.7 points per contest and added 7.2 rebounds. John Henson averaged a double-double with 11.7 points and 10.1 rebounds per game. The team really began to excel when Kendall Marshall took over as the team's starting point guard, and he is back after averaging 6.2 points and a team-leading 5.8 assists per contest.

The team also has a heralded recruiting class coming in. Guard P.J. Hairston and forward James McAdoo are two freshmen that could contribute immediately. With Barnes, Zeller and Henson leading the way, every team the Tar Heels play will have trouble matching up with that talented frontcourt. North Carolina has long been one of the country's most dominant college basketball programs, and this year doesn't look any different. Look for the Tar Heels to be a contender in March Madness in NCAA basketball gambling.
