UNC is on a three-game winning streak and hopes to make it four in a row when the Tar Heels travel to Tallahassee to face Florida State on Saturday.

One of the reasons for the short win streak has been the improved play from junior Leaky Black, not just as a scorer but as a distributor of the basketball. Black said after UNC’s win against Syracuse that he believes the team isn’t far off from performing at their best level to compete with that upper echelon in the conference.

“We’re right there,” said Black. “Even though we haven’t been winning as pretty as some of our fans would like, I feel like getting these [wins] under our belt says a lot about this team. I feel like we really getting better and we’re right there, we just need to keep striving.”

Tip-Off Time

Tip-off is scheduled for noon from Tallahassee.
