  • Since the ACC went to at least an 11-team tournament in 2005, the only year the 10 seed won a game was 2007, when 10th seeded NC State advanced to the finals before being defeated by Carolina. In all years except '07, the 10 seed is 0-4.
  • In conference games only, the only Tar Heel in the top 20 in rebounding is Will Graves at 5.6 rebounds per game.
  • Georgia Tech has outscored Carolina 83-49 in the first half of the two meetings this season.
  • In ACC games, Carolina outscored the opposition in both halves in only three games this year: both meetings with NC State and the road win at Wake Forest.
  • In the last 35 years, the only ACC team other than Duke to beat Carolina three times in a season was Georgia Tech in 1985. The Jackets have two wins over the Tar Heels this season.
