He has nine double-digit assist games in his last 23 contests. u With seven assists in the win over Wisconsin on Wednesday night, Marshall passed the 300-assist plateau for his career. With 302 assists and 111 turnovers in 48 career games, Marshall has an assist/turnover ratio of That figure ranks second in UNC history behind only Ty Lawson s 2.78 from and third in ACC history behind NC State s Sidney Lowe (2.94) and Lawson. u Marshall is the only Tar Heel in history to have multiple games with 15 or more assists, and he has done so three times. Raymond Felton (18), Jeff Lebo (17) and Cota (17) are the other Tar Heels with at least 15 assists in a game. Marshall did it three times in his first 24 career starts. u There have been 14 occasions in which a Tar Heel had 14 or more assists in a game and Marshall now has five of those 14 games, including three in a four-game span this season in November. 19 IN A ROW IN THE SMITH CENTER u is riding a 19-game Smith Center winning streak that Games Started stretches across three seasons. u The current 19- game streak is tied as the fourth-longest Smith Center winning streak in highest assist-turnover ratio career (min. 300 assists) 2.78 Ty Lawson, (608 assists, 219 TO) 2.72 Kendall Marshall, 2010-present (302 assists, 111 TO) 2.36 King Rice, (629 assists, 287b TO) 2.26 Matt Doherty, (446 assists, 197 TO) 2.21 Jeff Lebo, (580 assists, 263 TO) SINGLE-GAME ASSISTS (15 or more) 18 by Raymond Felton vs. George Mason (12/7/03) 17 by Jeff Lebo vs. UT Chattanooga (11/18/88) 17 by Ed Cota vs. UNLV (12/4/99 in Charlotte) 16 by Kendall Marshall vs. Florida State (2/16/11) 15 by Kendall Marshall at UNC Asheville (11/13/11) 15 by Kendall Marshall vs. Tennessee St. (11/22/11) SMITH CENTER WINNING STREAKS Ended 25 3/4/92 vs. Georgia Tech 2/12/94 by Georgia Tech (89-96) 21 2/15/04 vs. Maryland 11/29/05 by Illinois (64-68) 21 2/21/07 vs. NC State 1/4/09 by Boston College (78-85) 19 1/15/97 vs. NC State 2/21/98 by NC State (72-86) 19 3/2/10 vs. Miami ongoing the building s 26 years.

FRASOR, MANUEL ADDED TO STAFF u Head coach Roy Williams has added Bobby Frasor and Jackie Manuel, two former UNC players who played on national championship teams, to the basketball staff. u Frasor, a member of the 2009 NCAA champions, serves as assistant video coordinator. Manuel, who played on the 2005 title team, serves as assistant strength and conditioning coordinator. u Both are six-month appointments that run until May 15, u These are two outstanding young men who have decided to end their competitive playing careers and are looking to get into basketball from a non-playing perspective, says Williams. I think this will be a great opportunity for them to focus on what it takes to run a program. They ll set good examples for our current players because they know what it takes to win at a high level. NO. 1 IN BOTH PRESEASON POLLS u UNC grabbed the top spot in both national preseason polls, receiving 62 of 65 first-place votes in the Associated Press poll and 30 of 31 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll. u The Tar Heels have been the AP s preseason No. 1 eight times since the poll s inception in , tied with UCLA for the most of any program in the nation.

Tokoto (pronounced TOE-kuh-toe) of Menomonee Falls, Wis. u James is a 6-11 forward who plays for Coach Fred Ross at Dwyer High School in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Joel is an incredible story, says Williams. He is one of 11 kids, and he decided on his own to do a great job in the classroom and on the basketball court. His is an incredibly positive story both in basketball and life. I know he will help us rebound the ball, block shots and improve his game on the offensive end. u Johnson is a 6-9 forward who plays for Coach Herman Johnson at Edisto High School in Cordova, S.C. Brice plays for his dad at a small school in South and he has tremendous upside as a player, says Williams. He s just now starting to realize what he can do on the basketball court. He blocks shots, is effective around the basket and is going to be a big-time athlete for us. u Paige is a 6-1 point guard who plays for Coach Chris Robertson at Linn Mar High School in Marion, Iowa. Marcus is a great floor general who, like the other three young men that we ve signed, comes from a great family. He s a straight-a student who comes from a basketball family. His mom was a long-time high school basketball coach and his older sister plays at Wisconsin. Marcus is the type of player that everyone on the floor likes to play alongside. u Tokoto is a 6-6 wing player that plays for Coach Dan Leffel at Menomonee Falls High School. J.P. is an incredibly athletic player and a wonderful young man, says Williams. He really works hard and appreciates life. He has the ability to be a big-time defender and is outstanding around the rim. He has to be one of the most athletic players in the entire class.

7 What they re saying about the Tar Heels North will be the best team in college basketball, but not by as wide of a margin as in The Tar Heels return everyone, including [Harrison] Barnes, Tyler Zeller, John Henson, Kendall Marshall and Dexter Strickland. The Heels add James Michael McAdoo and P.J. Hairston, and have the depth and power to overwhelm opponents. Barnes can be the best player in the country, and Marshall is the best passing point guard in the nation. If North shoots it better and improves its offensive efficiency, few can beat the Tar Heels. Jay Bilas, ESPN.com, Oct. 27, 2011 On Harrison Barnes: Harrison Barnes going right off pump fake one dribble pull up -- unstoppable and Kobe-like. Doug Gottlieb, ESPN (Nov. 26, 2011, via Twitter) On John Henson: What I love about Henson is that he has reinvented himself as a player. After failing as a perimeter player in his first season, he got stronger, added some weight and took advantage of his athleticism and incredible wingspan to become a mistake eraser for coach Roy Williams defense last season. The transformation started in the very first game of his sophomore season when he dominated Lipscomb with 10 points, 17 rebounds and seven blocks. It s not going to be easy to score at the rim on the Tar Heels this season. Fran Fraschilla, ESPN.com, Nov. 8, 2011 Why do you stay in school? Tell you why. John Henson. With improvement he s made, it s starting to look unfair for everyone else. Mike Decourcy, The Sporting News (Nov. 25, 2011, via Twitter) On Kendall Marshall: (Best point guard in the nation) El Capitan. The orchestrator. The maestro. He came in and immediately turned UNC into a title contender last season. His vision and ability to deliver crisp passes allow him to facilitate better than any other player in the collegiate ranks. Some would even dare to call him the Mark Jackson of college basketball. His patience, composure, control and uncanny style of play are what make him a spectacular floor general. Jay Williams, ESPN.com, Oct. 27, 2011 Lots of kids are good assist men but no one understands how to deploy his weapons Always has, always will. Dave Telep, ESPN.com (Nov. 25, 2011, via Twitter) Kendall Marshall can pass that rock! He throws the ball ahead LeBron James (Nov. 25, 2011, via Twitter) I could average 15 points playing with Kendall Marshall. So few players think of their teammates first. Great vision! Fran Fraschilla, ESPN.com (Nov. 25, 2011, via Twitter) On Tyler Zeller: You just don t see big men run the floor like Tyler Zeller. Jay Bilas, ESPN (Nov. 25, 2011) Tyler Zeller can block shots and he is as good as any big man I ve ever had at taking charges. Roy Williams (Nov. 25, 2011) TAR HEEL HONORS P.J.
