Rice scored 25 points and Rakim Sanders added 22 to help Boston College stun North Carolina 85-78 on Sunday, likely ending the Tar Heels’ run atop the early season polls with a surprisingly one-sided road victory.
This loss shouldn't cause too much worry in Chapel Hill, since going undefeated was a ridiculous thought and an early-season loss for a team with such lofty aspirations is rarely a bad thing.
The Tar Heels are still the best basketball team in the country and are the prohibitive favorite to win the national championship, but things just got a whole lot more interesting thanks to the stunning upset.
North Carolina will be back on the court Wednesday against the Charleston Cougars. Get your college basketball odds in the Bodog Sportsbook now.
