UNC is riding a two-game win streak after winning its last matchup earlier this year on March 6 on the road, 78-71. However, over the last 10 games, the Tar Heels are 6-4.

The largest margin of victory for UNC came on Jan 25, 2012, when it won 77-46. The smallest margin? Jan 9, 2011, when the Tar Heels won by a point, 84-83.

In total, North Carolina has scored 1,770 points and has an average of 77 points per contest. Boston College's last win came on Thursday, February 29, during the 2023-2024 season. The Eagles won 78-74 at home.
