Here’s the good news: The North Carolina Tar Heels are 103-40 all-time against Virginia. UNC holds a 72 percent winning percentage versus their longtime foes.
The bad news is that losses number 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, and 40 have come in the last six games versus the Cavaliers.
The eventual 2017 national champions were the last team to beat UVA, and they were the first loss in this six-game skid.
Carolina’s win last Saturday helped them stay on the NCAA Tournament bubble. Imagine what a victory over the ninth-ranked team in the country will do to UNC’s season resume.
