Hard to believe, but this is only the tenth season in the 65 years of the Atlantic Coast Conference that North Carolina boasts a pair of players averaging at least 17 points per game. This is the first time under Roy Williams.
The Tar Heels have paced the ACC in scoring 19 times, seven under Williams. That total is second only to Duke, which led the ACC in scoring offense in 23 seasons, 11 since 1997.
Half of UNC’s 17-point duos played in consecutive seasons from 1965 through 1969. Larry Miller and Bob Lewis each averaged at least 17 in their three varsity seasons.
