UNC basketball earns big grade for last week

The UNC basketball program earned an ‘A’ grade for their play recently, as they continue to roll.

The North Carolina Tar Heels are on a roll as the month of January wraps up.

Going into Saturday’s game at Florida State, the Tar Heels are 16-3 overall and 8-0 in Atlantic Coast Conference play. They have a two-game lead and are looking like not only legit contenders to win the ACC but the national title too.

There’s a lot of basketball to be played but you can’t be mad at what you’ve seen from this team so far especially after this team missed the NCAA Tournament a year ago. But what do the experts think of the Tar Heels so far?

Kyle Boone of CBS Sports offered up his grade for the past week and it was another A:

UNC extended its winning streak to eight this week with a thumping of lowly Louisville and an impressive 10-point road win over Boston College in a spot that could have been tricky. Tar Heels have things rolling with RJ Davis in his zone.

UNC is already 1-0 this week with a big win over Wake Forest at home, and going on the road and beating Florida State should give them another A for next week. But UNC just needs to take it one game at a time and continue to put themselves in the best position for a deep run in March.
