Georgia Tech, No. 20 UNC open ACC play after disappointing defeats
Sitting at 4-4, the reigning ACC regular-season champion Tar Heels are in unfamiliar territory. Since mounting a 21-point comeback to beat Dayton in its Maui Invitational opener on Nov. 25, North Carolina has dropped three straight, solidifying its worst start to a season since it went 3-5 in 2001-02 -- a campaign that saw the Tar Heels go 8-20.
