The North Carolina Tar Heels are on a four-game winning streak, their best all season.
UNC is looking for five in a row against its second California opponent this week. Stanford travels to the Smith Center in the first-ever ACC matchup against Carolina.
The Tar Heels are 13-0 all-time against the Cardinal. In the program record book, those 13 wins are the second-most among all opponents in which UNC is undefeated.
These teams first met in 1967 at the Far West Classic in Portland, Oregon. Dean Smith’s fifth-ranked Tar Heels won 87-78.
The most notable game between these programs was in the South Region quarterfinals of the 2000 NCAA Tournament.
