North Carolina (21-4, 8-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) will try to win its fourth consecutive ACC road game when it visits the BankUnited Center to play at Miami (15-8, 6-4 ACC) on Wednesday night.

Carolina is 3-1 on the road in conference play this season, winning at Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and Maryland since losing at Florida State on Jan. 14.

Having beaten Miami 73-56 in Chapel Hill earlier this season on Jan. 10, Carolina hopes to sweep the season series from the Hurricanes and win its 10th in a row in the series overall.

The Tar Heels enter this week’s action with an 8-2 ACC record, tied for first place in the conference with Duke and Florida State. Miami is tied with Virginia for fifth place in the league at 6-4.

ESPN will televise the game, with Mark Jones (play-by-play) and Len Elmore (analyst) calling the action.

Carolina is ranked No. 8 in the Associated Press poll and No. 7 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll this week. Miami is unranked.

The Tar Heels have gone 24-5 in their last 29 ACC games, closing 2009-10 by winning two of three conference contests, going 14-2 in 2010-11 and starting this season 8-2.

UPCOMING: After Wednesday’s game, Carolina will host Clemson on Saturday afternoon in the Smith Center, then vist NC State on Tuesday (Feb. 21).

THE SERIES VS. THE HURRICANES

Carolina leads the series with the Hurricanes, 17-2, including a 9-1 advantage in Chapel Hill, a 6-1 edge on the road and a 2-0 edge at neutral sites.

Carolina has won nine games in a row against Miami, including a 73-56 win in Chapel Hill last month and two wins last season (in Coral Gables in the regular season and in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals in Greensboro).

Carolina’s last loss to Miami came on Jan. 14, 2006, in Chapel Hill.

Carolina’s current nine-game winning streak against Miami is the second-longest active streak against any ACC opponent (the longest is an 11-game streak against NC State).

Miami’s BankUnited Center and Virginia’s John Paul Jones Arena are the only current ACC venues in which Roy Williams holds an undefeated record.
