UNC basketball enters tonight’s game against Furman on a bit of a roll. They’ve played very well since the rough weekend where they lost to Purdue and Tennessee in back-to-back games. A big test in UCLA awaits them on Saturday, but they can’t look past Furman to get there. A win tonight would give the team a five-game winning streak heading into the CBS Sports Classic.
The Paladins are 7-3 on the season with a win over an ACC team under their belt already. Furman beat Louisville 80-72 back on November 12th. Their 83.9 points per game are good enough for 13th nationally, but they’ve been less successful on the boards, ranking 196th.
