North Carolina eyes sixth straight win

Feb 3, 2009 - 3:32 PM Maryland (14-7) at No. 4 North Carolina (19-2), 8:00 p.m. EST

CHAPEL HILL, North Carolina (Ticker) -- North Carolina looks to continue its winning ways when it hosts Maryland in an Atlantic Coast Conference contest on Tuesday.

Since dropping two out of three, the fourth-ranked Tar Heels (19-2, 5-2 ACC) have reeled off five straight wins, including Saturday's 93-76 victory at North Carolina State.

After scoring a season-low eight points in a win against Florida State, Tyler Hansbrough had 31 against N.C. State.

North Carolina's all-time leading scorer, Hansbrough shot 12-of-17 from the floor for his second 30-point game of the season and is averaging a team-best 22.4 points per contest.

Maryland (14-7, 3-4) snapped a two-game losing streak on Saturday, defeating Miami, 73-68.

Landon Milbourne scored 17 points in the win and Greivis Vasquez had 11.

Vasquez is scoring 16.1 points to lead the Terrapins, who upset then-No. 1 North Carolina last season.
