## Resource

North Carolina’s new-look Tar Heels, led by coach Michael Malone, are quietly poised for a breakout season despite sitting at 25—where they’ve stayed since the last rankings. With a roster almost entirely rebuilt (save for Jarin Stevenson) and a focus on versatile, balanced play, they’re set to outperform last year’s squad. The team’s depth and cohesion suggest they deserve a higher ranking—maybe even nudging Kansas or Iowa State—despite the skepticism. Versatility isn’t just a buzzword here; it’s their secret weapon.
