Carolina is currently riding a 3-game road winning streak, with all three victories coming by at least 20 points. That's the first time in the ACC era the Tar Heels have won three straight road games by at least 20, and the first time in program history since 1946.
Carolina has played NC State and Duke on the road in back-to-back games only twice in the ACC era. The Tar Heels swept both previous occasions (1982 and 2001).
Carolina currently has 13 victories of at least 20 points per game. The Tar Heels had six such games all of last season. The 2005 championship team had 18 such games.
Arizona's Mustafa Shakur committed 8 turnovers on Saturday. That's the sixth time this season and third straight game in which the Tar Heels have forced at least 5 turnovers from an opposing guard.
