Tuesday Talking Points

Only one of the last four Carolina teams to win the final regular season game of the year at Duke has gone on to win the ACC Tournament (1994).

Only three teams have nine players averaging double-digit minutes in conference play: Carolina, Florida State, and Wake Forest.

This would be only the third season that a Roy Williams-coached team has more turnovers than their opponent.

After shooting at least 50 percent from the floor only twice in back-to-back games this season prior to Feb. 19, Marcus Ginyard is now riding a streak of five straight 50-percent-or-better games. With 13 free throw attempts during that stretch, he's equaled his number of free throw trips in his previous 9 games.

Quentin Thomas had 7 turnovers in one game (9 minutes) at Virginia Tech on Jan. 10. He has 7 turnovers in his last 10 games--a stretch of 116 minutes.

Carolina is currently riding a seven-game winning streak. Only 3 Tar Heel teams in the past 18 years have entered the ACC Tournament on at least a seven-game streak. All three went to the Final Four (1993, 1997, and 2005).
