The North Carolina Tar Heels took care of business last week with a 2-0 showing including a win over Tennessee and Florida State at home. While UNC dominated the first half against the Volunteers and had to hold on in the second half, it was almost the opposite against the Seminoles, needing a big second-half run to win.
Now, this week the Tar Heels hit the road as they head to New York City for the Jimmy V Classic.
Waiting for them at Madison Square Garden is the defending national champion UConn Huskies who suffered their first loss of the year on Friday night at Kansas. The Huskies look good early on this season and if there’s any such thing as a ‘good loss’, Friday’s to Kansas was it.
Both teams are playing some really good basketball early on and will look to continue that. A big win against a good-ranked opponent would go a long ways for the Tar Heels or Huskies. Let’s get into our preview for Tuesday night’s showdown in the Garden.
