UNC now has a commanding lead in the ACC Coastal division following the win as they prepare to take on Duke next weekend while Pittsburgh prepares for Notre Dame.
NOTES: This is the first time these two teams have played since an NCAA Tournament game on March 24, 1991 – which the Tar Heels won….
The Tar Heels could be in for a big time showdown with Clemson in the ACC title game, but they will have to go on the road the next two weeks at Virginia Tech and NC State. They’ll have to fight that fight without Paige, an all-league performer in the Atlantic Coast Conference last season when he led the Tar Heels with 14.1 points per game.

It’s going to be fun, ” said UM linebacker Jermaine Grace. “But when he’s back, it’s going to be even more scary”. There’s no doubt in my mind. “We’ve been winning since Coach Scott started being coach and we’re not letting down now”. It was stressed a couple of years ago and the result was a lot of fouls at the beginning of the season-no one really adjusted their play-and by the time January rolled around the new rules were soon forgotten. “We know he’s not there and we know what he’s going to give us when he gets back, but that gives us more experience”. We’re up for it. “… It was weird, and you just feel so bad that you’re not out there with your guys”.
