It’s pretty much impossible to choose only five starters from the list of great players who have played basketball at UNC. But Kyle Montgomery and others at the ACC.com make a stab at it anyway.
Who would be your starting five?

Al Wood isn’t the only sweet-shooting Tar Heel in his family.
Al’s daughter, 5′-11″ junior Candace Wood, sank a beautiful three-pointer to put Carolina on top as they battled to hold on to the game against Virginia in Carmichael Arena tonight. Then Candace stepped to the line twice for 1-and-1’s and calmly drained all four shots to ice the game for the Heels.
Candace has missed only one free throw all season.
Dad was in the stands watching.
I think she got the gene.

The UNC Tar Heels will face the Maryland Terrapins on Saturday, February 4th in College Park. Regardless of team rankings, with the support of one of the most rowdy collegiate fan bases out there, the Terps seem to always play well against the Heels in the Comcast Center.
To get you Tar Heel fans fired up for Saturday, here’s a little trip down memory lane from the ACC Vault:
Posted onFebruary 2, 2012|Comments Off on Signing Day 2012 — Success for UNC Coach Fedora and Staff
Watch as head football coach Larry Fedora fields questions during UNC’s 2012 National Signing Day press conference — Fedora’s first signing day since making the move to Chapel Hill less than one month ago. Although the Tar Heel class of 2012 is not as highly ranked as some of the previous UNC classes, under the circumstances, most would agree that Fedora and staff performed admirably in signing a solid class. Twenty-three future Tar Heels faxed their LOI’s to UNC today, and it’s still possible at least one more highly regarded recruit joins the class.
Nine of ten of the top-ranked high school football players in the class of 2012 in the state of North Carolina have chosen to play their college football outside their home state. In the future, Fedora intends to do a better job enticing North Carolina’s most talented players to stay in state for their college careers. He explained, “My job is to put a product on the field that kids in the state get excited about — where a kid realizes, ‘Hey, I can reach every dream and goal I have right here on that field; so there’s no reason for me to leave; so there’s no reason for me to go very far.'”
Fedora and staff only had about three weeks to sign the Class of 2012, but in those weeks, they also managed to evaluate and offer scholarships to a number of outstanding players in the class of 2013. Not surprisingly, many of those players are from North Carolina.
Despite the negative recruiting, the looming sanctions, the program’s year under a lame-duck staff, the current staff’s very short time on the job, and the NCAA ‘investigation’ that never ends, the future of North Carolina football is bright.

Two fine videos from the official site of the ACC site, “Kings of the Court travels to Ames, Iowa for this intimate portrait of Tar Heel standout Harrison Barnes.”
And a little reminder of one of the highlights from #40’s freshman campaign — the game=winning shot that drove a dagger in the hearts of the FSU Seminoles in Tallahassee on March 2, 2011.
