CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- No. 19 North Carolina has experienced troubling issues recently, but its three-game losing streak looks mild compared with what Pittsburgh is going through.
Pittsburgh arrives Saturday night at the Smith Center with a 10-game losing streak.
"They're struggling right now, but at the same time we're struggling," North Carolina senior guard Theo Pinson said Friday.
North Carolina (16-7, 5-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) is trying to avoid its first four-game skid since a stretch in January-February 2010.
Part of the backdrop for the game involves North Carolina junior swingman Cameron Johnson.
