CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- It's fair to say that No. 12 North Carolina and Pittsburgh are hurting after their most recent games.
It's just that degree of suffering for these teams looks vastly different as they go into Tuesday night's Atlantic Coast Conference matchup at the Smith Center.
First-place North Carolina (19-4, 7-2 ACC) had its seven-game winning streak snapped Saturday at Miami.
"We have some major wounds that need to be healed," Tar Heels coach Roy Williams said Monday.
But nothing quite like last-place Pittsburgh (12-9, 1-7), which is stuck in a six-game losing streak after a couple of particularly disturbing results.
