Big Game this week as the #3 Tarheels travel to Winston Salem to take on the #4 Demon Deacons. The Lawrence Joel Coliseum can be one of the loudest places in the country in big games and it doesn't get much bigger than #3 vs. #4. This will be the ACC Opener for the Demon Deacons, Carolina lost their conference opener to the Boston College Eagles.
