Tuesday Talking Points

Carolina will play a third straight game against ranked competition when Ohio State comes to the Smith Center Wednesday night. The only other time in school history the Tar Heels have played three straight nonconference ranked teams in the regular season came during the 1993-94 season; ironically, two of those games (UMass and Minnesota) were also played at Madison Square Garden in the Preseason NIT.

Brandan Wright has scored in double figures in his first five games as a Tar Heel. Only two other Tar Heel freshmen in the past 20 years have accomplished that feat: Rashad McCants and J.R. Reid.

Carolina has faced a top-ranked team in the month of November only once in program history--a 1987 meeting with Syracuse on Nov. 21. The Tar Heels won, 96-93.

Carolina has three 100-point games in their first five contests. Only three teams in school history have accomplished that feat (1993, 1987, and 1971).

Bobby Frasor's 3-point percentage is up to 46.2% after last year's 31.0% effort.
