Home Court Advantage
The Tar Heels have one of the most formidable home-court advantages in the country, rarely losing more than three home games in a season. One of the few times they have lost more than that was the 2009-2010 season, when they finished with a disappointing 5 home losses (16-16 overall). As of the end of the 2009-10 season, North Carolina had a record of 282-56 (.834) at the Smith Center, an average of 11.5 wins and just 2.1 losses per year. They have gone undefeated at home four times since the arena opened (1986-87, 1992-93, 2004-05 and 2010-11). North Carolina has an overall record in the Smith Center of 285-52. UNC's ACC record in the Smith Center is 146-40.
