The fans in Carolina blue left the Watsco Center disappointed Thursday night after the 17th-ranked University of Miami women’s team knocked off the Tar Heels 100-88 – first time Miami hit the century mark since 2011.
UM’s men are aiming for a similar outcome Saturday afternoon, as they play the ninth-ranked Tar Heels (19-3, 7-1 ACC) in 1 p.m. CBS game.
North Carolina is riding a seven-game win streak, and has won nine of its past 10. The Heels are coming off a 91-72 victory over Virginia Tech, the team’s seventh consecutive ACC game with 85-plus points, something no UNC team in school history has ever done.
