CHAPEL HILL — No. 3 North Carolina hosts Miami tonight at 9 p.m. at the Smith Center.

While we wait (and wait) for the late tip, consider these three things to watch:

CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina coach Roy Williams on Sunday began watching film of Miami, which visits the Smith Center on Tuesday night. And the thing that stood out most to Williams? The Hurricanes’ guards.

Particularly, the starting backcourt duo of Durand Scott, a junior, and Malcolm Grant, a senior.

“I think that they set the tone for everything,” Williams said.

CHARLOTTE -- If pro basketball isn’t Malcolm Grant’s thing, he may have a future in comedy.

Media days can be a little dry and boring at times, especially when players and coaches have been talking for a while, but there may not have been anyone in the ACC having as much fun mixing with the media as Grant, Miami’s junior guard.
