It should be clear by now that coach Roy Williams hasn’t a clue about fixing North Carolina’s woes. Yet the Tar Heels, who have lost seven in a row, are favored over an in-state rival ahead of them by five games in the ACC. UNC’s home-court edge has been in decline, with five covers in the last 21 outings. The challenge will be heightened if illness prevents F Garrison Brooks (15.2 points, 8.5 rebounds) from playing or reduces his effectiveness.
The Wolfpack are playing with revenge against a Tar Heels team that's lost seven straight and could again be without Garrison Brooks. NC State knocked off Duke last week and came close to upsetting FSU as well. Look for C.J. Bryce and Markell Johnson to shoot much better than they did against the Seminoles.
