Lucas: UNC vs. ECU Rapid Reactions

Posted Dec 22, 2025
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)
