They can't look ahead past any of these teams. Hopefully they will start the ACC season off right against Wake on Saturday.

 

[TPFKAPFS]

13 is indeed fair!

If you look closely, almost the same names are in front of us again! With intensity and focus, we can beat Wake and get off to a fast ACC start. To a young team, that first taste of ACC ball is important!

 

[dadika13]

Not sure why you're talking so much about winning the next 5. That's pretty unrealistic when you look at those 3 road games.

 

[Spaceytoyz]

Just Win the Next game...

That is right. UNC needs to take care of business one game at a time. It’s a cliche but so true for these Tar Heels. Each game they need to build on their chemistry, bench play, rebounding and defense. We have the best and deepest backcourt in the country on both sides of the ball.

No worries, as losses in November and December should make us stronger for March Madness 2018. By then our Freshman bigs and Felton will be further along their very steep development curve, and the veterans -- Johnson, Maye, Pinson, Berry and Williams -- will continue to deliver and provide needed stability and consistent performance. Go Heels !!

Uh oh! 13 is unlucky











for Wake!
