Last week we discussed North Carolina’s huge win over Notre Dame. The big victories keep coming for the Tar Heels. UNC slipped past Georgia Tech on Thursday night in a battle of bubble teams. On Sunday North Carolina likely took their name off the bubble list and into the looking good to make the tournament list with their 64-51 win over the nation’s last unbeaten team, North Carolina State. At 14-9 and just 5-4 in ACC play, the Tar Heels have some work to do still, but if they keep playing like they have over the last two weeks, it will be a while before this team loses again.
