vs. 
Tonight's match-up is an exciting one for Runnin' Rebels fans, and here are links and information on tonight's nationally televised game:
From UNLV Athletics:
You’d be hard-pressed to find a team longer or more athletic than the No. 1 ranked Tar Heels. Entering play tonight, UNC ranks second in the country in assists-per-game (22.2), third in points-per-game (89.6), tenth in rebounds-per-game (43), and eleventh in field-goal percentage (52%). Led by Naismith College Basketball Hall of Fame member and two-time ACC Coach of the Year Roy Williams, the Tar Heels boast a wealth of talent across the board. Sophomore forward Harrison Barnes (17 ppg) leads a trio of players averaging at least 16 points per contest. A native of Ames, Iowa, the 6’8 Barnes was named North Carolina’s ninth ACC Rookie of the Year last season in addition to being tabbed a freshman All-American (USBWA and FoxSports.com). Barnes isn’t the only Tar Heel talent down low, however.John Henson, a 6’11 junior forward is pouring in 16.5 points-per-game in addition to snaring 11 rebounds. As a sophomore last year, Henson became just the third UNC player in the last 13 years to average a double-double for the season. Then there’s the Tar Heel’s man-in-the middle, 7’0 center Tyler Zeller. So far this season, Zeller is averaging 16 points-per-game to go with eight rebounds. Always one to look for a quality shot, the senior led the ACC in field-goal percentage a year ago by converting nearly 55% of his attempts. If UNLV is to have success tonight, it must be solid in the paint and allow its guards to have quality looks at the hoop.
