I obviously think highly of the Tar Heels. So does the nation currently. A big win against Tulane will only reinforce that.

A close win or even a loss and the perception changes. More questions get asked. Roy Williams falls under more scrutiny to start a season.

Final Score: 80-60 UNC over Tulane. Mike Dunleavy Sr. is a good coach and Tulane will be ready to play at Smoothie King Center. However, the talent level is too great. Game stays early close but the depth and talent due their job. Roy Williams wins his season opener for the 12th year in a row.
