I only have two responses to your article. The first is that North Carolina
is certainly deserving of their no. 1 billing (which is more than I can 
say for DePaul's no. 2 ranking). The second has to deal with DePaul (since
they are my favorite big-time college team). I don't agree at all with
your assessment of their team. The way I see it, they are not that great
a shooting team, merely a good shooting team. Kenny Patterson can't shoot
to save his life. Jerry McMillan is an excellent shooter and Tyrone Corbine
can shoot very well. None of their centers is a good shooter. Secondly,
their team defense is very good. The two guards are extremely quick (as
were the New Jersey connection, Clyde Bradshaw and Gary Garland) and they
play a very effective switching defense. The thing they lack the most is
a Terry Cummings, the excellent big man, even though Dallas Commegys (sp?)
is certainly as far along as you would hope for a freshman to be.
All in all, it should be an intersting season the rest of the way.
