CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Damier Pitts is approaching Marshall University's visit to the University of North Carolina as just the next basketball game on the schedule.

But, he knows Tuesday night's contest is bigger than other games.

North Carolina is one of college basketball's great programs, the second-biggest winner of all time behind the University of Kentucky. Five national championship banners decorate the Dean E. Smith Center, including one from last season. The Tar Heels are ranked No. 10 in the nation.

Pitts is from Charlotte, N.C., and knows what to expect.
