Top-ranked Tar Heels welcome Crusaders to Chapel Hill

Posted Dec 30, 2007

The nation's top-ranked team will be on display tonight as the North Carolina Tar Heels welcome the Valparaiso Crusaders to the Smith Center in Chapel Hill. Valparaiso owns an impressive 10-2 record, including a perfect 3-0 mark against Horizon League opponents. The Crusaders are however, coming off one of their two losses, as they dropped a 68-58 decision to Wisconsin in Madison on December 22nd. That setback halted an eight-game win streak.
