CHAPEL HILL – North Carolina finished its spring practice Saturday by holding a 70-minute game, so this was THI’s fourth chance to see the Tar Heels in person over the last month.

The defense has players everywhere, though many are young. But UNC is in no shortage of athletes on that side of the ball, and it’s a world of difference from a few years ago.
