ACC Basketball Power Rankings: Who says December is always dull? Posted Dec 20, 2012 5. North Carolina (8-3): North Carolina did not have a particularly easy time in a victory against visiting East Carolina and had an even worse time in a loss at Texas. This shouldn’t be too much of a shock to those who’ve been paying attention. Entering this season, it was clear that UNC had some talented pieces but some fairly serious questions at point guard and in the post. (Fayetteville Observer)
