Carolina fans had a bit of a dilemma Saturday. Support the Tar Heels on the gridiron or support the Tar Heels on the hardwood. Both Chapel Hill teams were in action at the same time.
But, this should have been an easy choice. The "true" UNC fans were watched their No. 1 ranked men's basketball team tip-off.
Sadly it's that time of year already. Men's NCAA basketball, one sport in a litany that start too early, has tipped-off.
So, if you need the skinny on man-to-man defense and other hoops trends to get into the basketball mood, SI.com's Luke Winn reports on 50 things he learned about basketball ideology. Including that Nike dominates the college scene with 72 percent of schools wearing the Swoosh.
As for what to expect this season, fellow blogger Colin Storm delivers his annual college basketball thesis.. I mean preview. Check it out at Eye of Storm.
Similarly, SI.com gives the inside scoop with their Top 20 scouting reports.
FoxSports.com's Jeff Goodman takes a look at the preseason Top 25 and calls the North Carolina Tar Heels the total package.
And if you want a look at what the experts think the field of 65 will be, ESPN has the projections. Analyst Dick Vitale has his awesome predictions, while Joe Lunardi already has Bracketology revved up.
Enjoy the early season tournaments!

I think Carolina is the total package IF, and only if, Hansborough is healthy. He's not yet played in a game and there is the possiblity that he won't come back as a POY candidate if his leg injury lingers.
If he does come back healthy, it's a totally different story. The kid is simply driven.
