CHAPEL HILL—North Carolina sits alone at the top, both of the preseason Associated Press Top 25 poll and on the all-time list of teams with the most preseason No. 1 rankings.

The Tar Heels are determined to be there in April, too.

With nine of its top 10 scorers back, UNC enters the 2015-16 season at No. 1 for a record ninth time in AP preseason poll history, breaking a tie with UCLA.

"I do feel like we're going to be a good basketball team," coach Roy Williams said in a statement Monday.
