Nevada vs. North Carolina Preview

Posted Dec 31, 2008
Barely tested and hardly challenged. That's been the story for No. 1 North Carolina thus far, and it's unlikely to change Wednesday on the road against a young Nevada team. The Tar Heels have overwhelmed every opponent with an offense that at times hasn't completely clicked. Still, North Carolina is first in Division I with 20.8 assists per game, second in scoring (95.8 ppg) and fifth in field-goal shooting (51.1 percent). (CBS Sportsline)
