Observations
This is UNC’s first game without junior forward Kennedy Meeks, who suffered a knee injury against Texas and is expected to be out for at least two weeks. ... Tulane has its Triangle bases covered: Head coach Ed Conroy was an assistant to Les Robinson at N.C. State in the 1990s. Assistant coach Shammond Williams was the MVP of the 1997 ACC tournament for the Tar Heels.
