The North Carolina Tar Heels went 1-1 last week, losing at Miami before beating Pitt at home. The loss was a tough one, being on the road and against an underrated Hurricanes team. But the bounce-back win over the Panthers was impressive as they were without Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar.
Now, UNC enters another important week.
