Tuesday Talking Points

By Adam Lucas

Danny Green's 46.2% accuracy from the three-point line in conference play leads the regulars in that category.

Quentin Thomas has 12 assists and 3 turnovers in his last six games. He is riding a streak of six straight games with an assist/turnover ratio of at least 1:1. His previous season high was 3 such games and his previous career high was 5 such games.

Georgia Tech hasn't won at the Smith Center since Feb. 10, 1996.

No Roy Williams-coached team has ever lost more than 4 games at home in one season. The 1988-89 Kansas squad went 10-4 in Lawrence; this year's team is also 10-4 at home.

After Sunday's game at Wake Forest, four of the last five games in the series will have been played in Winston-Salem. In the last 10 years, 3 of Carolina's 4 Final Four teams have lost in Winston; of the 4 UNC teams that posted wins there in the last decade, 3 lost on the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament.

In all three seasons of Roy Williams's UNC tenure, Carolina has followed up a loss in the first Carolina-Duke game of the year with a key road win. In 2003-04 it was a road triumph at Wake Forest, last year it was a road win over Connecticut, and this season it was Sunday night's win at Miami.
