Tar Heel reserves contributed just 11 double-digit scoring games all of last season. This year's Carolina bench has already posted eight such games.

Ty Lawson is averaging more fouls per minutes (1 foul every 7.63 minutes) than any of the players in Carolina's top eight in minutes played.

Carolina is 9-0 in the Williams era after a December layoff of at least one week. Their average margin of victory in those nine games is 26.3 points.

Carolina defeated Penn by 35 points on the road last week. Over the last 20 years, there have been only five seasons in which the Tar Heels notched true road wins of over 30 points. All five of those teams--1991, 1993, 1997, 1998, and 2005--advanced at least to a Final Four.

With the Tar Heels attempting almost 30 free throws per game, this team has an outside chance at eclipsing the all-time Carolina record for most free throws attempted in a season. The current record is 1,167, held by the 1956-57 squad.
