The North Carolina Tar Heels have won 14-straight games at home dating back to last season. Can they make it 15 against Virginia? What do the Cavaliers bring to the table?

Now that is how you vanquish and opponent.

First Carolina beat NC State for the second time this season, by a combined score of 204-129,

That was apparently so bad of a beating, that State had to go on and fire their coach before the season even ended (though he will stay on for the rest of the year).

Again that is what the dictionary refers to as annihilating. No wonder Tar Heel fans don’t acknowledge State as a real rival.

The Tar Heels will now return home where a stout Virginia Defense is waiting for them.

What do the Tar Heels need to know about the Cavaliers?
