Carolina is 6-1 at home against Duke over the last 15 years when both teams are ranked in the national top ten.

Wednesday will be Carolina's first top-three AP matchup since the Tar Heels tangled with Illinois in the 2005 national championship game.

Since 1980, the Tar Heels are 10-3 in games involving AP top-3 matchups.

Tyler Hansbrough's 21-rebound game against Florida State was just the sixth game of 21 rebounds or more by a Tar Heel in the past 35 years (Sean May had 24 against Duke in '05, 21 against Akron and Duke during the 03-04 season, Mitch Kupchak grabbed 21 against Tulane in 1976, and Bobby Jones had 21 against Duke in 1973).

The Tar Heels have 14 games of at least 90 points this season. The 2006 and 2007 teams combined had 14 games of at least 90 points. The 2005 team, which had 16 such games, holds the 90+ record in the Williams era. The 1987 team holds the school record with 21 90+ games.
