NEW ORLEANS -- When new Tulane basketball coach Mike Dunleavy looks across the Smoothie King Center court at the No. 6 North Carolina Tar Heels Friday night in the season opener for both teams, hell see more than a few NBA prospects wearing Carolina blue.Even though Dunleavys young Green Wave dont have the talent or depth to match up against Roy Williams Tar Heels, Dunleavy knows his job is to create a culture built on the foundational lessons he learned in 17 years coaching in the NBA: Take good shots and share the ball.We really kind of want to play how the (San Antonio) Spurs play, Tulane guard Malik Morgan said, giving voice to a lofty goal. We really want to focus on good ball movement and getting open shots. Last year we kind of took some hard shots, but Coach (Dunleavy) really wants us to open the floor for shooters.Dunleavy, 62, is taking over a Tulane team that went 13-21 last season and finished with the second-fewest assists per game (10.9) and the second-most turnovers per game (13.3) in going 3-15 in the American Athletic Conference. The Green Wave also were second-to-last in the AAC in scoring (65.9 points per game) and second-to-last in 3-point shooting (30 percent).The first thing we want to emphasize is getting good shots and taking good shots, Dunleavy said. We need to take care of the ball and not turn it over. I thought last year it was a problem for them -- shot selection and turnovers.The Green Wave return four freshmen from coach Ed Conroys team who played at least 10 minutes a game last year (Melvin Frazier, Von Julien, Blake Paul and Kain Harris). They lost 96-72 to North Carolina last year in Chapel Hill, and the Tar Heels have not played Tulane in in New Orleans since 1977.Carolina returns several key players from a team that went 33-7 and captured the Atlantic Coast Conference regular season and conference championships and advanced to its record 19th Final Four appearance.Junior Joel Berry II, who was named MVP of the ACC tournament and is a preseason first-team All-ACC selection, will start at point guard, and he will be joined on the wing by Justin Jackson, a second-team preseason All-ACC choice. Senior center Kennedy Meeks is back along with senior power forward Isaiah Hicks.Hicks was voted the ACCs sixth man of the year last season and will help replace Brice Johnson, a first-round pick of the Los Angeles Clippers. Carolina will be without junior wing Theo Pinson, who broke a bone in his right foot last month and will be sidelined indefinitely.The Heels were selected to finish second in the ACC behind Duke this season.The 6-foot-6 Pinson had been expected to start at shooting guard for North Carolina and is an excellent perimeter defender. In his absence, Williams said he needs to see how sophomore Kenny Williams, senior guard Nate Britt and freshman Brandon Robinson perform.Somebodys got to get those minutes, Williams said. Whoever gets those minutes, if they do well and succeed and have good moments, thats really going to make them better at the end of the year. Then, if you do get Theo back and hes ready to play, then that makes you stronger. Hector Rondon Jersey . -- Vincent Lecavalier got everything but the desired result in his return to Tampa Bay.

And the injury could have a negative impact on his chances of playing for Australias rugby sevens side at the Rio Olympics this summer.The Fiji-born back suffered the injury when he clashed heads with team mate Christian Lealiifano during the Brumbies Super Rugby loss to the Stormers in Cape Town on Saturday. Brumbies head coach Stephen Larkham said: Its a shame to lose Henry, hes obviously a world-class winger.At this stage it looks like he may be out for eight weeks, which would be around the same time we take on the Rebels in Round 12, but we will have to wait for further advice.Hes remaining positive and will be doing everything he can to get back on the field as soon as possible. Henry Speight featured in last months Sydney Sevens Speights injury appears likely to rule him out of all but the final two rounds of the World Sevens series in Paris and London in May, a major blow to his hopes of proving he can adapt to the shorter game.The 27-year-old made his World Series debut in Dubai last December and also featured in the inaugural Sydney Sevens in early February.
