The Tar Heels claimed the No. 12 spot in this week's AP Top 25 Poll. It serves as North Carolina's highest-ranking thus far during the 2024-2025 season.
It was a quiet week for North Carolina as they only played one game following a trip to the West Coast. They concluded a three-game road trip by squeezing out a victory against Clemson on Sunday afternoon, improving to 7-0 on the road this season.
North Carolina has the opportunity to make a push toward being included among the top 10 teams at this point a week from now. The Tar Heels host two games at Carmichael Arena this week, starting with Virginia Tech on Thursday night.
On Sunday, a big-time Top-25 clash will be held in Chapel Hill, as the No. 10-ranked NC State Wolfpack roll into town. With a win, the Tar Heels could leap into the top 10 rankings for the first time all season.
The final stretch of the regular season won't be an easy one for Courtney Banghart and the UNC women's basketball program, but if this team has shown us anything, it's that they are more then capable of getting the job done and will embrace every challenge that they face.
