Coast to Coast: Conference Play Begins for UNC

North Carolina has completed the non-conference portion of its schedule with a 12-1 record and ranked No. 12 in the AP Poll. The Tar Heels now begin play in a stronger but navigable ACC, hoping to build on the momentum they’ve created up to now. Sherrell McMillan and Sean Moran join Joey Powell to look ahead to conference play and consider how UNC may figure into the mix.

The Coast to Coast is delivered by Salvio’s Pizzeria in Cary, an award-winning, go-to local pizza spot for game days, catering, family meals, events, and more. They’ve been serving Tar Heel fans for over twenty years. Pickup, delivery, or dine in. More info at salviospizza.com.
