Streak or no, UConn's visit excites Tar Heels
Posted Jan 17, 2011
North Carolina has its annual test against Connecticut tonight, and the Tar Heels may be as prepared as they've ever been. The Tar Heels (16-1), ranked No. 11, may have been looking ahead to the matchup against the No. 2 Huskies (16-1) when they struggled against rival N.C. State on Friday night. UNC guard Italee Lucas said the Tar Heels know what it means to play Connecticut.
