UNC will begin its ACC campaign against Virginia Tech in Blacksburg Friday.

“You don’t feel good about the way you’ve played. But yet you do have a great deal of confidence and a great deal of hope that you can get things turned around. Last year about this time we weren’t feeling very good either, and maybe it was as good a turnaround as we’ve ever had. […]

Despite the less than desirable start to conference play, Coach Williams says there will be no quit in the Tar Heels.

DeShields earned the honor for the second time this season by averaging 23 points and eight rebounds in Tar Heel victories against the Wolfpack and Seminoles.

UNC fell behind at halftime and could never recover at the Carrier Dome against No. 2 Syracuse.

Concerning to Tar Heel fans, Head Coach Roy Williams says he’s questioning everything right now, even down to what coat he’s wearing.

The defending ACC champion Tar Heels will have their work cut out for them if they are to repeat as champions this year. Conference rival Duke is ranked as the top team in the nation.

After a slow start, Carolina seized momentum behind offensive firepower led by Diamond DeShields.

The Hurricanes slowed down the tempo, and executed a surgical offense for much of the contest while the Tar Heels struggled to get anything clicking with their offense.

For the first time in seven years, both schools will have a top 25 ranking beside their names when they face off on “Throwback Thursday” at 6 p.m.
