“CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina has shown what it can do here against an overmatched opponent. The top-ranked Tar Heels will soon learn how they’ll respond when they leave their home state.
Tyler Hansbrough scored 26 points and Wayne Ellington added 19 to help North Carolina beat South Carolina State 110-64 Tuesday night, giving the Tar Heels another easy win before starting an extended road swing that will keep them away for nearly a month… ”

For the first time in his career, one of Roy Williams’ teams will play six consecutive regular season games away from home. Unlike last year’s Duke squad, the Tarheels are not afraid to play worthy opponents on the road. ;) The above AP article on this game continues:
“…The Tar Heels next face Old Dominion in Las Vegas on Friday, followed by a potential matchup with No. 6 Louisville in Saturday’s championship. From there, North Carolina travels to Ohio State, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Rutgers…”
The Tarheels return home for Christmas on December 19th.
