UNC Rises to No. 11 in AP Poll Following Historic Beatdown of NC State

Posted Jan 9, 2017
UNC may have needed every one of Joel Berry’s 31 points to beat Clemson in overtime last Tuesday, but after a historic 51-point blowout win over NC State on Sunday it’s clear the Tar Heels are still among the nation’s most dangerous teams. As a result, UNC moved up three spots in the most recent AP Top 25 released on Monday–going from No. 14 to No. 11. (Chapelboro.com)
