Looking to get back on track, North Carolina hosts Boston College on Saturday for a 2:15 tip at the Smith Center.
The Tar Heels are coming off 72-71 and 67-66 losses to Stanford and Wake Forest, respectively, and have dropped to 12-8 overall and 5-3 in the ACC. And with a key stretch of games coming up that include road dates at Pitt, Duke, and Clemson in a four-game span, it’s critical Carolina not only win but play well before heading into that gauntlet.
Boston College comes in at 9-10 overall and 1-7 in the ACC. The Eagles have lost five consecutive games and nine of their last 12 with the wins coming over Stonehill by 4 points, Fairleigh Dickinson by 8 points, and Miami by 10 points. The current five-game losing streak has been to Georgia Tech, Syracuse, Notre Dame, Duke, and Virginia by an average of 18 points per game.
The game will air on The CW.
