It’s here. There may be eleven games left in the ACC regular season, but what fans can expect when the calendar turns to March will boil down to these next four games—three of them on the road, two against the same opponent.
The first game is tomorrow night against Pitt, a team that has been a huge thorn in the side of the Tar Heels over the last couple of seasons since Jeff Capel took over on the bench. The Panthers have been going through it themselves this season. After a 3-0 start in the ACC, they lost four straight to Duke, Louisville, Florida State, and Clemson.
