Tuesday Talking Points

Over its last 10 games on the road at ACC opponents, Carolina's worst mark is a 3-7 figure against two teams. One, Duke, makes sense. The other? Saturday's opponent, Virginia.

Carolina's five-game losing streak in Charlottesville is its longest active ACC road losing streak.

Quentin Thomas has attempted 15 shots in 18 games. In the era in which minutes per game are available (since 1980), he would be the first Tar Heel ever to average more than eight minutes per game and have more games played than shot attempts.

With this week's poll, the Tar Heels have spent 11 straight weeks in the AP top 11. That's the longest such streak since the start of the 1998-99 season, when the Heels spent 12 straight weeks in the top 11.

Sean May is close to averaging a double-double in league games. He's averaging 13.3 points and 9.8 rebounds per game against ACC opponents.

In Roy Williams's 48 games as head coach, the Tar Heels have nine 100-point games. That's as many century-breaking efforts as Carolina had in their previous 287 games before Williams took the helm.
