UNC Basketball

Complete coverage of North Carolina Tar Heels Basketball.

Lucas: Merry

Thank you, Santa. The big man delivered exactly what UNC Basketball needed on Monday. It was more than just a shellacking of East Carolina. It was something very difficult to find in sports — a night when everything went right and everyone went home happy. Only four other UNC teams this century have started at least 12-1 through 13 games. (GoHeels.com)

Elijah Davis’ Late 3-Pointer Culmination of Emotional Basketball Journey

Lucas: UNC vs. ECU Rapid Reactions

The 12-1 start puts this team in some lofty company. The last Tar Heel squads to get off to a better start were the 2007-08 and 2008-09 teams, both of which started 13-0. This season's team joins only four other UNC teams this century to start the season at least 12-1. The others include those two 13-0 squads, plus 12-1 teams in 2004-05 and 2006-07. (GoHeels.com)
