The fight continues for North Carolina as they prepare for their third meeting against the Virginia Cavaliers.
UNC continues to live on the bubble as a team desperately needing to pick up wins while seeing those ahead fall short. Unfortunately, North Carolina’s season has yet to go quite as planned. However, everyone understands how dangerous they can be if they get a chance to dance.
UNC had major success in its first Atlantic Coast Conference tournament game with an 85-61 win over Boston College. North Carolina arguably played their best game of the season, with a glimpse of the future getting significant playing time. The win was a shared effort, as UNC finished with 23 points from the bench.
The turnaround is quick, with UNC playing the next day against a team they got the better of the last time they played. North Carolina devoured the Cavaliers 71-63, using their 42-26 first half for a cruising win.
Another must-win scenario for UNC, so let us look at the keys to surviving to advance.
