Just how tough is UNC's basketball schedule?

Posted Dec 15, 2007

The Tar Heels have conquered Kentucky at Rupp Arena. UNC's demolished Penn at the Palestra. Roy Williams' club has traveled three times zones to dispose of Old Dominion and Brigham Young. And don't forget the victory at Ohio State without point guard Ty Lawson. What's all this done for UNC's strength of schedule? Push it a notch above Utah Valley State. Despite the arduous road slate, UNC's schedule is ranked as the 121st toughest in the country. (Durham Herald-Sun)
