Can North Carolina Tar Heels Continue Their Winning Streak at PNC Arena?

As the North Carolina Tar Heels prepare to face off against the North Carolina State Wolfpack at PNC Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent momentum. The Tar Heels have been on a winning streak, showcasing a robust performance in their last few games.

In their most recent match against Clemson Tigers, the Tar Heels secured a comfortable 65-55 victory. Their defensive prowess was evident as they limited the Tigers to just 36 percent field goal shooting while themselves shooting at 42 percent from the field. Dominating the boards, they outrebounded Clemson with an impressive total of 44 rebounds and maintained an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.4.


Prior to that game, they faced Pittsburgh Panthers and emerged victorious with a score of 70-57. The team's free throw accuracy was remarkable at 86 percent, which could be crucial in close encounters. They also continued their trend of strong rebounding by grabbing 51 rebounds in total.


The highlight performance came before these two games when they played Charleston Southern Buccaneers at home and put up an electrifying display scoring over a century of points – finishing with a whopping scoreline of 105-60. The Tar Heels shot an outstanding 56 percent from the field and had an assist-to-turnover ratio that any coach would be proud of: four assists for every turnover committed.


Playing away from home this time around might pose different challenges; however, given their current form – especially on offense where they've shown versatility both inside and outside the paint – fans can expect another strong showing.


The upcoming clash is set for January 11th at PNC Arena in Raleigh, NC. Fans looking forward to catching all the action live can tune into ESPN channel number 206 for national coverage starting from one o'clock Eastern Time on game day.
