All in all the Heels have an interesting ACC schedule. Six of their nine road games are against the bottom half of last years ACC standings. However, they finish the season playing eight out of ten games against the top six of those same standings. That includes two against both Virginia and Duke. Winning home court advantage will be key.

If UNC goes 9-0 at home then they have a legit shot at the conference. If they cant a top three finish may be the best they can do.
