The North Carolina Tar Heels had a weekend off from Atlantic Coast Conference play and instead played two non-conference games in the week.
UNC split those games despite having a lead in Tuesday’s loss to Campbell before rallying to get a big win on Wednesday. With the 1-1 week, UNC will have to win some series with just two weeks left in the year. They are still in the tournament per the latest projections but they may need some help if they slip up.
After the 1-1 week, North Carolina is still not in the updated USA Today Sports Coaches Poll. Instead, they are still receiving votes.
