Tonight the No. 2 North Carolina Tar Heels (19-2, 8-0) face the No. 19 Louisville Cardinals (17-4, 6-2) in a big ACC matchup on ESPN. This is Carolina’s first game versus a ranked ACC opponent this season and the start of a back loaded schedule.
However, this does not mean they have not been challenged. Although the Tar Heels beat Virginia Tech 89-62 on Saturday, they struggled against the Hokies in the first half. Typical of UNC’s team this season, they played down to their competition.
The Cardinals are not small potatoes or chopped liver either.
Damion Lee and Trey Lewis lead Louisville with 16.
