Not that North Carolina coach Roy Williams wants to be comparing this seasons team with the group from a year ago, but some similarities might bode well for the Tar Heels. http://www.texansrookiestore.com/Texans-Jj-Watt-Jersey/ .Theres already the notion that sharing the basketball could bring good things again.I think that weve emphasized from Day 1 that this group has got to be a team now as well, Williams said.No. 5 North Carolina will play seven games in less than a two-week span, so there will be ample opportunity for players to contribute. Next up is Tuesday nights home game against Long Beach State at Chapel, Hill, N.C.The Tar Heels had 26 assists on 34 field goals in Sundays 97-57 rout of Chattanooga.Were returning a lot of guys from last year and thats one thing we did last year was share the ball, not turn it over much and get shots, guard Joel Berry said. I think having people back from last year helps with it and just getting the open shot is what Coach wants.Those are signs that the Tar Heels are clicking early in the season, something that was expected with a core group of returners, but is always worth monitoring as roles change.It just shows were working together, forward Isaiah Hicks said. I know the coaches were talking about the assists on points were really good. Those are things we emphasize, working together.The Tar Heels already say theyre comfortable with how freshmen have transitioned into roles.The freshmen, theyre ready, Hicks said. They already impressed me over the summer.The biggest impression among the newcomers has come from post player Tony Bradley. Williams said Bradley is absorbing a lot in a short amount of time.Hes just going to get better, Williams said. He wants to learn. We are throwing about a thousand things at him, but hes doing a really nice job.Through two games, the lineup change of note has come at guard, with sophomore Kenny Williams starting the opener at Tulane and senior Nate Britt with the starting unit in the second game. The coach said hes interested in how the duo reacts, mentioning that Kenny Williams has had good offensive moments while Britts defensive work has been noted by the coaching staff.Im just giving guys some chances, Coach Williams said. When you get in there, you need to play well and do some good things.Long Beach State is coming off Sundays 92-55 loss at Wichita State. That began a stretch of nine consecutive games away from home, when the team will log 4,492 miles during that span.The second game for the 49ers was vastly different than the 95-59 home victory against Division II Cal State-Los Angeles to begin the season two nights earlier.I think the biggest thing is consistency, Long Beach State coach Dan Monson said of what his team must strive to achieve.Monson said hes emphasizing defense with his team because he senses thats where immediate gains would be most beneficial. But the offense could use a tuneup as well, particularly after the 49ers made only six of their last 28 shots in the Wichita State game.North Carolina has some future travel on its agenda as well. After Tuesday, the Tar Heels will play their next four games in Hawaii. http://www.texansrookiestore.com/T-Shirts/ .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. http://www.texansrookiestore.com/Texans-Jose-Altuve-Jersey/ . -- The goal posts lying flat on the field, Arizonas fans lingered on the field, congregating around the locker room entrance nearly 30 minutes after rushing out of the stands. http://www.texansrookiestore.com/Texans-Kendall-Langford-Jersey/ .
