A final note on the UNC game...

Last week, I mentioned that UNC beat NC State with stunning efficiency. The Heels had an offensive efficiency rating of 149.6, which is the highest number posted by any ACC team in any game (conference or OOC) this season. I was curious about how the performance stacked up nationally, so I asked Ken Pomeroy.

He indicated that Carolina's mark has been exceeded just eight times. Here are the top three:

1) UC Irvine (against Miss. Valley State) -- 155.3

2) Ohio State (against Penn State) -- 155.1

3) UConn (against Morehead State) -- 153.0
