After two solid wins last week, North Carolina got a bit of a break this week, but they’ll return to the court tonight. Tonight, the Elon Phoenix are in town for a non-conference matchup at the Dean Dome.
Elon come into this game at 2-7, ranked #268 in the country according to the KenPom ratings. Their two lone wins this season have come against non-Division I competition, and their losses against power conference competition have been by an average of 16.75 points. On paper, this is not a game the Tar Heels should have too much trouble with, but they have struggled with lower conference opposition a couple times so far this season.
