This season marks only the second time the Tar Heels have played five ranked teams before Christmas. The other was the 1988-89 squad, which went 4-1 against the quintet of ranked foes and finished 29-8.

The 2009-10 team is the first in the Roy Williams era to suffer three losses before January 1. This is also the first Roy Williams-coached team (at Carolina or Kansas) to suffer four losses before conference play begins.

At 6.6 blocks per game, Carolina is on pace to contest the team record for blocked shots in a season (219 for the 1993-94 team).

After making 6 of his first 21 field goals, Leslie McDonald has connected on six of his last 13 field goal attempts.

Carolina is one of only two schools in the country to draw at least 21,000 for an on-campus game so far in the 2009-10 season (Kentucky is the other).
