  • UNC women's basketball picked as preseason favorite - Associated Press
    North Carolina's best player is a major question mark. The Tar Heels still have enough talent to win the Atlantic Coast Conference. For the second straight year, coach Sylvia Hatchell's team is the preseason pick to win the ACC's women's basketball title, despite the uncertain status of Jessica Breland, who's been out since she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma.

  • With UNC's offense struggling, Yates feels the heat - Durham Herald-Sun
    North Carolina quarterback T.J. Yates hears the criticism. He hears it on campus when he's going to class, and when he walks off the field after a loss. The Tar Heels are 4-3 overall, 0-3 in the ACC, and Yates is becoming the prime target of fans' discontent since his numbers are down from the past two years. But the third-year starter said he also has learned how to block out all that noise and to not take any of it personal.

  • Breland voted to ACC honor - Durham Herald-Sun
    There are battles. And then there are battles. The battle UNC senior forward Jessica Breland has waged against Hodgkin's lymphoma during the last five months overshadows anything that will take place on the 94-foot hardwood floors in arenas across the ACC this season. Breland's status for the season is uncertain, according to UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell, but that didn't prevent Breland from being named to the preseason All-ACC team.

  • Heels favored in ACC women's hoops - Raleigh News & Observer
    North Carolina women's basketball coach Sylvia Hatchell can usually predict the preseason order of ACC conference teams with great accuracy -- give or take a few positions.

  • Tar Heels turn sights on Hokies - Winston-Salem Journal
    North Carolina was still trying yesterday to overcome last week's stunning collapse against Florida State, while also getting ready for one of its toughest games of the season. Shell-shocked UNC will play at Virginia Tech in its second consecutive Thursday night game and the first of three remaining road games. Coach Butch Davis said that the playing date has led to another unusual and demanding week for his team, which is winless in ACC play.
