UNC Basketball: Tar Heels rise in latest ESPN power rankings

The North Carolina Tar Heels are off to a great start in Atlantic Coast Conference play, opening up the schedule with two road wins.

Their latest road win was pretty impressive as they went to Raleigh and beat No. 15 NC State 90-82 to open up 2-0 in the ACC. The win also moved UNC to 12-3 on the year.

With the ACC being a tough conference, having six teams ranked in the Top 25, picking up road wins will be tough all season long. But if you can get them, you will put yourself in good shape for a double-bye.
