The start of Atlantic Coast Conference play is officially here for both North Carolina and Wake Forest as they meet on Saturday in Chapel Hill.
UNC is coming off a nonconference schedule in which they went 11-2 capped off by beating Ohio State in the CBS Sports Classic on Saturday. That came just days after a shocking home loss to Wofford in the Dean Dome.
Now they begin their quest to win another ACC regular season title and hope to get off on the right foot.
The Tar Heels dropped their ACC season opener last year on the road against Georgia Tech but managed to rebound quickly and win the regular season title.
