ACC basketball power rankings after opening weekend

Combined record of the conference after three days of play: 17-2

1. North Carolina (2-0)

Opening Weekend: Defeated Temple (91-67); Defeated Fairfield (92-65)
This Week: vs. Wofford (Wednesday); at Northern Iowa (Saturday)

The top-ranked Tar Heels gave one of the more impressive performances of the opening weekend when they hammered Temple 91-67 on a neutral floor in Annapolis. Without Marcus Paige, UNC dominated inside thanks in large part to big man Kennedy Meeks, who tied a career-high with 25 points and 11 rebounds in 28 minutes.

The game was mired, slightly, by a late skirmish that resulted in Nate Britt being ejected for leaving the bench.
