If their recent history is any indication, the Tar Heels have a good chance of bouncing back. They've won 39 straight regular-season games against non-conference foes since an 82-74 loss to Gonzaga on Nov. 22, 2006. North Carolina's average margin of victory during that streak is 25.3 points.

That could make for a rude return to action for Charleston, which has not played a game since a 79-75 loss to Davidson on Dec. 29. The Cougars have had some success against the Tar Heels, winning two of the teams' four all-time meetings.

This will be the first time Charleston faces a ranked team this season and they are 0-5 against Top 25 opponents since 1998. Get your NCAA basketball betting with the Bodog Sportsbook today.
