UNC did not end 2022 on the best note. They blew a game they had a healthy lead in against Pitt on the road just before New Year’s Eve. The loss sent Carolina to 1-2 in the early going of ACC play so far.
They have a chance to at least even up their conference record tonight when they welcome Wake Forest to Chapel Hill for a late weekday tipoff. The Demon Deacons are coming in having won back-to-back games against Duke and Virginia Tech. As good as those wins look, they have lost Rutgers, LSU, Clemson, and Loyola Marymount this year.
