3. North Carolina Tar Heels[/B]
How good is this group of Tar Heels? And how much can the same group of players improve? That's the big story heading into the 2015-16 season in Chapel Hill, where every single rotation player from a good-but-not-great 2014-15 campaign is slated to return. That not only means the same starting core surrounding star point guard Luke Maye. The annual assumption in college basketball is that merely returning players is, in and of itself, an indicator of success -- that veteran players are always destined to improve. Sometimes, that's true. (See: Badgers, Wisconsin.) But sometimes, those teams merely are what they are. Tar Heels fans will be hoping for more of the former than the latter in the year to come.
