RALEIGH, N.C. -- North Carolina's latest accomplishment leaves little time for celebration.
The No. 21 Tar Heels, who are fresh off defeating Duke, are back in action for Saturday afternoon's game against North Carolina State at sold-out PNC Arena.
This one is bound to have an emotional edge as well.
N.C. State (16-8, 6-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) is aiming for its first regular-season series sweep of the Tar Heels in 15 years.
About 40 hours after finishing a grueling 82-78 victory over No. 9 Duke, the Tar Heels (18-7, 7-5) have another battle against a neighboring rival.
