Here is a look at some of the notes from UNC’s 19th win in 34 games.
***The Tar Heels are now 1-0 all-time against the Cowboys.
***UNC is just one win away from its 20th of the season, which would give the program a minimum of 20 wins in 32 of the last 33 seasons.
***Although the crowd was 20,235 the game was still a sellout and every seat appeared to be used. The reason the total was nearly 1,300 less than a usual sellout is because there were no student risers, and the sideline seats across from the benches did not extend as far out as usual.
***Rashad McCants’ 20-point effort gives him at least 20 points in 11 games this season.
***McCants now has 568 points, the second most ever by a UNC freshman. He passed Sam Perkins (550 in the 1980-81 season) and is now just 32 points behind Joseph Forte, who had 600 points in the 1999-2000 campaign.
***Felton’s 15 points and 14 assists gives him three double-doubles in his last five games. He also did so against Duke and Maryland.
***Melvin Scott’s 20 points were a career high. His previous high was 19 points in UNC’s win over Maryland in the ACC tournament.
***Scott had no turnovers in 34 minutes of action, which means he has just one turnover in his last 134 minutes of game action.
***Carolina’s 90 points was its second highest total of the season (UNC had 93 against N.C. A&T). This is the fourth time in the last five games UNC has scored at least 80 points. They did so only five times in the first 29 games.
***All five starters had more assists than turnovers for the first time all season.
