Carolina Notes
• This is the first time Carolina has lost at home as a top-5 ranked team against an unranked opponent since losing to Boston College on 1/4/2009. The Tar Heels were No. 1 in the nation in that game.
• It was the first time a top-5 UNC team lost to an unranked opponent since 12/12/15 when No. 3 UNC lost at Texas.
• The loss snapped UNC's 23-game home winning streak and UNC's 22-game home winning streak against non-conference opponents. The 23-game streak tied the fifth-longest in school history.
• It was the first home loss since 2/17/16 to Duke and the first loss at home to a non-ACC opponent since 12/3/14 against Iowa.
• This was just the 16th loss to a non-ACC team in the Smith Center in 214 games all-time.
• It was the third time this year UNC trailed at the half (loss to Michigan State, win vs. Tennessee the others).
• UNC had not trailed by more than five points in its first five home games this year (trailed by five to Western Carolina, but won that game by 43). Wofford's largest lead was 14.
• Carolina made a season-high 28 free throws and attempted a season-high 38 free throws.
• Wofford out-scored UNC 16-8 in points off turnovers, the largest margin for the opponents this season (Davidson had a six-point advantage).
• Carolina shot 36.4 percent from the floor, its lowest since shooting 24.6 against Michigan State in its only other loss this season.
