• The line for the game is North Carolina by 2.5 points.

• The Bulldogs are averaging 94.1 points per game and making 52.3 percent of their shots but recorded their lowest point total of the season in the 76-73 loss to Tennessee. Junior forward Rui Hachimura has been a force with a 22.1 scoring average and sophomore guard Zach Norvell Jr. is averaging 17.6 points while knocking down a team-best 33 3-pointers. Senior guard Josh Perkins has been solid with averages of 10.2 points and 8.4 assists while junior forward Brandon Clarke has taken advantage of star Killian Tillie’s ankle injury to average 16.9 points and 8.2 rebounds, shoot 71.4 percent from the field and block 33 shots.

• Guard Coby White (15.3 average) is beginning to make an impact, as he is the first freshman to lead the Tar Heels in scoring in three straight games since Harrison Barnes was the leader four consecutive times during the 2010-11 campaign. Senior guard Cameron Johnson is averaging a team-best 15.7 points while senior power forward Luke Maye (13.7 points, 9.4 rebounds) needs just 20 points to become the 76th player to score 1,000 career points for the Tar Heels. Little is contributing 12 points per game off the bench for a team averaging 93.3 points overall.

• The Tar Heels are outrebounding their foes by 13.3 per game.
