Big-time battle awaits Carolina in Joel
No. 3 North Carolina has won 15 consecutive road games, dating back to last season.
To win No. 16, the Tar Heels will have to beat undefeated and fourth-ranked Wake Forest at Lawrence Joel Coliseum tonight at 8 p.m. on Fox Sports.
This is no easy task for Carolina (14-1). The Deacons snapped Brigham Young's 53-game home-court winning streak on Jan. 3 with a 94-87 victory in Provo, Utah. Wake Forest (13-0) has not played since, either. So, the Deacons have had more than a week to prepare for the team they love to beat most of all.
Playing Wake Forest is never easy for the Tar Heels. The last three NCAA championship teams for UNC (1982, 1993 and 2005) lost a total of 10 games. Three of those losses were to Wake Forest.
One thing is for sure: The arena in Winston-Salem will be rocking and loud tonight.
