Easy choice: Marshall Henderson over the Tar Heels

http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/blog/eye-on-college-basketball/21622592/easy-choice-marshall-henderson-over-the-tar-heels

North Carolina plays Boston College Tuesady at 9 p.m. ET. Usually, it's one of those games I circle on my calendar because it's an opportunity to drive and see one of the elite teams in the country. However, I'm not going. Instead, I'm staying home to watch Marshall Henderson face Kentucky.

Truth be told, I just saw the Tar Heels get throttled over the weekend in Raleigh against NC State. Sure, they made it respectable in the second half, but it was a good old-fashioned -whipping. I'll see Roy Williams & Co. again in a few weeks over in Durham against Duke. I don't need to see North Carolina again. I don't want to see North Carolina again. I saw plenty on Saturday evening.

"It's not a very good feeling right now," Roy Williams said after the loss. "We stunk."

Marcus Paige isn't ready. He needed a year of apprenticeship under Kendall Marshall, but was thrust into action this season. James Michael McAdoo isn't ready. He needed to transition into being The Guy, not wind up being tossed into the role. There's no leadership, poor transition defense and no low-post threat.

RE: Easy choice: Marshall Henderson over the Tar Heels

The Tar Heels will lose senior Dexter Strickland from this year's team -- and maybe McAdoo. Brice Johnson has the potential to be a terrific player once he adds weight, but there's no answer at the point guard spot if Paige doesn't develop. Nate Britt will come in next season, but it's unlikely he'll supplant Paige -- who needs to physically mature prior to his sophomore season. The Tar Heels also bring in a couple of frontcourt guys: Kennedy Meeks, who is a project big man, and Isaiah Hicks -- who has a chance to be an impact guy from Day 1 due to his combination of length and athleticism.

Let's face it: It's unlikely that the Tar Heels will return to the land of the elite next season.

North Carolina is 13-6 and 3-3 in league play and fighting for its NCAA tourney life each game. It can ill-afford to slip up at Boston College. The Tar Heels have already lost to Texas, at Virginia and at home to a Miami team, which was missing Reggie Johnson. They need a win against the Eagles.

Honestly, I won't be paying attention. Instead, I'll be watching the Marshall Henderson Show because it's far more entertaining.

RE: Easy choice: Marshall Henderson over the Tar Heels

Well, I'll be watching the Heels! I agree that Carolina is "fighting" for a berth in the NCAA's, but so are a lot of teams at this point in the season.

RE: Easy choice: Marshall Henderson over the Tar Heels

So to sum it up, Carolina sucks on the national level along with the rest of the ACC! I positively agree!

Except Duke of course. They have beaten a bunch of top ten and 25 teams this year.

Yeah, his opinion isn't valid since he thinks UNC is Mediocre.

His opinion is what it is ... an opinion. Whatever his opinion is, nobody gives a s*!t what he watches.
