North Carolina absolutely demolished one of its main rivals in North Carolina State and did it so badly that the Tar Heels made history in the process.

While it was the most points that UNC has ever dropped on the Wolfpack, it is not the biggest point different they've ever seen:
UNC just blasted NC State by 51. 2nd-largest point differential in series history. North Carolina beat NC State in 1920-21 season, 62-10.

Still, getting beat by 51 points isn't exactly fun and shows just how Jekyll and Hyde this Wolfpack team can be this year despite lottery pick Dennis Smith Jr. and potential top-15 pick running mate Omer Yurtseven running the show. I have a feeling that the Duke-UNC games won't be as lopsided in February and March.
