CHAPEL HILL—With the team's lone public exhibition game is in the rear view mirror and the regular season opener just days away, the defending Atlantic Coast Conference champion North Carolina Tar Heels are set to embark officially on their 2016-17 journey in New Orleans on Friday night.
Each week during the 2016-17 season, the Four Corners weekly column will aim to serve four purposes: look at news and notes surrounding the team, recap the best of the previous week, look ahead at what's next and highlight what you might have missed along the way.
