Chansky’s Notebook: Going for 500

History says that UNC's 500th win in the Smith Center won’t be easy against Wake Forest, who has gone 3-3 in their last six games against Hubert Davis’ teams although each has won on its home court. Wake is better than its 10-6 record overall and dangerous. The Deacs lost one-pointers against top-ranked Michigan and No. 14 Texas Tech. (Chapelboro.com)

Why Seth Trimble May Be North Carolina's Best Option at Point Guard

As UNC prepares for its 16th game with its backcourt still unsettled, Saturday’s second half in Dallas hinted at changes in the Tar Heels' backcourt. Seth Trimble played 19 minutes in the second half at SMU, spending much of that time at point guard. While the result didn’t favor North Carolina, the Tar Heels’ offense found rhythm in the second half. (Inside Carolina)

No. 17 UNC Men's Basketball Hosts Wake Forest: TV info, stats, scouting Deacons, keys to game, notes

Wake Forest’s 3-point shooting has been streaky (but was 11 of 21 Wednesday vs. Miami), so forcing tough possessions and turnovers can swing momentum. The Deacons have made less than 30% of their 3-point attempts in nine of 16 games but have scored double-digit 3-pointers in six games. Wake Forest is 17th in defensive rebounding in the ACC.

Chansky’s Notebook: The Dean Dome’s Greatest Games

Duke’s Mark Alarie made the first basket at the Dean Dome and Warren Martin dunked North Carolina’s historic first bucket. In the year before college basketball introduced the 3-point shot, the Blue Devils and Tar Heels played one of the great games ever staged in the building. Both teams shot better than 50 percent in North Carolina’s epic 95-92 win. (Chapelboro.com)

Can't Run, Can't Hide: UNC’s backcourt is a problem

One of the biggest questions around UNC entering the college basketball season was how well this backcourt would gel. So far, the results have been mixed, and the Tar Heels' latest outing amplified those concerns. Seth Trimble is having a standout season. But the rest of the backcourt has not kept pace, and it’s becoming a concern as ACC play begins. (USA Today)

UNC Basketball Entering Tricky 3-Game Stretch

Wake Forest, Stanford, and California are all capable of beating the Tar Heels. Wake has guards that can cause issues for UNC defensively, Stanford has good length plus one of the best freshmen in the nation, and Cal is also guard-driven and owns a win over UCLA. Odds are that UNC will go 2-1 in this stretch, but the Tar Heels need to go 3-0 for a few reasons. (TarHeel247)
