All right, Tar Heel fans. The basketball season is finally here. Tonight your Heels get their first chance to defend their NCAA title against FIU.

Media types will hype this matchup because of the head coaches (UNC's Roy Williams against new FIU head man Isiah Thomas...yes, that Isiah Thomas), but let's be honest here: UNC should run away with this game. The Heels simply have too much length and experience to lose to a team like FIU, and I would be surprised if this game were close when it's all said and done.

I'm excited to get my first look at the UNC team tonight. I was unable to see the exhibition contest against Belmont Abbey, but with the talent on this team, you can guarantee that I'll be excited to watch. Enjoy the game everyone!
