It has been an up-and-down year already for the North Carolina Tar Heels, but the season is just getting started with a number of notable matchups still on the horizon.
The early part of the season has certainly been more exciting than many fans would have liked to see from the No. 1 team in the preseason polls. The Tar Heels do have good wins over Maryland and others, although losses to Texas and Northern Iowa have left plenty of question marks.
While UNC is still a legitimate title contender, the remaining games have a lot more importance, as the squad needs to prove itself as an elite team.
