UNLV’s progress will be put to the test Saturday at North Carolina

Posted Dec 28, 2012
No matter what the 20th-ranked Rebels may have seen on tape or heard others say about their opponent, the important fact to remember is they’re still going to play a college basketball game at North Carolina. And the road team rarely walks away from the Dean Smith Center with a victory. In fact, the last non-conference opponent to go to Chapel Hill and defeat North Carolina was Illinois. In 2005.
