UNC men’s basketball dropped seven spots to No. 9 in the latest AP poll.

The Tar Heels lost to Louisville and Notre Dame over the course of the last week, after starting Atlantic Coast Conference play 8-0.

Carolina now sits at 19-4 on the season after the back-to-back losses. The Tar Heels will be looking to get back in the win column when the team travels to Boston College to take on the Eagles Tuesday night.

UNC beat Boston College 89-62 in the Dean E. Smith Center on January 30.

Villanova jumped from third to the top of the rankings after former No. 1 Oklahoma lost again last week.

Villanova is followed by Maryland, Oklahoma, Iowa and Xavier in the top five.

Virginia is the highest ranked ACC team at No. 7, followed by UNC at nine and the Miami Hurricanes at 12. Louisville, which beat UNC last Monday before announcing a self-imposed postseason ban for a scandal involving escorts, is No. 13 in the newest poll.

No other ACC teams cracked the top 25.

Carolina’s game at Boston College is scheduled for an eight o’clock tipoff Tuesday night. Coverage will begin with the UNC Health Care Countdown to Tipoff on 97.9 FM/1360 AM WCHL at 6:30.
