Tar Heels Slip to No. 13 in AP Men’s Basketball Poll

Posted Jan 14, 2019
Despite the worst home loss of the Roy Williams era Saturday against Louisville, the UNC men’s basketball team only fell one spot to No. 13 in the newest AP Men’s Basketball Top 25, which was released on Monday. Prior to that loss, however, the Tar Heels defeated then-No. 15 NC State in Raleigh on Tuesday. The top 10 teams remained exactly the same this week. (Chapelboro.com)
