Over the last decade, Roy Williams-coached teams have averaged at least 88 points per game in four seasons. All four of those teams went to the Final Four and two of them won the national championship. Making it to 88 seems to be just as important to the Tar Heels as it was to Marty McFly. The most recent team to crack that barrier was last year's team, which rolled to an 89.8 points per game average. (Tar Heel Blue)
