The ACC home opener for North Carolina is Saturday when the Tar Heels host Pittsburgh at noon.

UNC is coming off consecutive losses that have swiftly changed the course of the season, as after a 3-0 start, the Tar Heels were routed at home by James Madison, 70-50, and last Saturday blew a 20-0 lead midway through the third quarter in losing at Duke 21-20.
