With its victory on Saturday, No. 11 North Carolina (38-11) ran its winning streak to five games and clinched the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Coastal Division title. On Sunday, the Tar Heels — 19-7 in ACC play — attempt to finish off a three-game sweep of visiting Louisville (29-21) at Boshamer Stadium in Chapel Hill.
