Three men's teams from North Carolina — No. 1 North Carolina, No. 5 Duke and No. 6 Wake Forest — were a combined 33-1 through Sunday night's games and are ranked in the top 6 for the first time since the final poll of the 2005 season. They're joined by two women's teams, the second-ranked Tar Heels and McCallie's sixth-ranked Blue Devils, who were a combined 23-1 through Sunday. "It's going to be big-time," North Carolina point guard Ty Lawson said. (Daily Advance)
