• Today's win is Carolina's 20th of the season and 10th ACC win. Carolina has now won 20 or more games 53 times, seven consecutive times under Roy Williams and 38 times in the last 41 years.
The Tar Heels have now won 10 or more ACC regular-season games for the 35th time and sixth time in the last seven years.
• The 48 points are the fewest ever scored by Carolina in the Smith Center (today was UNC's 361st game in the Smith Center). The previous low was 50 against Princeton on Dec. 13, 1997, in a 50-42 UNC victory.
• The 94 combined points are the second-fewest in a game in the Smith Center. The low is the 92 scored by the Tar Heels and Princeton on Dec. 13, 1997.
• The 48 points are the fewest points by UNC in a victory since a 45-44 win at NC State on Feb. 12, 1997.
• This is Carolina's first game scoring fewer than 50 points since a 60-48 loss to Duke in Charlotte on March 8, 2002, in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals.
• The 48 points are the fewest scored by UNC in Roy Williams' eight years as head coach. Previous low was 50 at Duke on March 6, 2010.
• Carolina held Boston College to 46 points, a season-low by the opponents (49 at Evansville). It was the fewest since an 89-42 win over NC Central last year.
• The 46 points were the fewest allowed by Carolina in an ACC game since a 65-45 win over Clemson on Jan. 6, 2000. It was Boston College's fewest points this year (51 vs. Florida State) and the fewest by the Eagles ever in an ACC game (fewest since a 70-43 loss to Georgetown on Jan. 12, 2002).
• The 21 first-half points are UNC's fewest in a half this year (previous low was 24 in the first half against Minnesota and Virginia Tech). It also equals the lowest point total in any half in Roy Williams' years at UNC (also 21 in the first half at Georgia Tech on Feb. 16, 2010).
• Carolina was just 4 of 8 from the free throw line today. Those are both season lows (previous was 7 makes vs. Virginia Tech and 14 attempts at Miami).
• Carolina has won three consecutive games in which both teams shot less than 40 percent from the floor in each of those games.
UNC shot .377 at Clemson, .366 vs. Wake Forest and .368 vs. Boston College. Clemson shot .344, Wake Forest shot .377 and Boston College shot 26.9 percent.
• Boston College shot 26.9 percent from the floor, a season-low by an opponent this year (previous was .317 by Evansville). It was the first time an opponent shot less than 30 percent in a game since UAB shot 28.8 percent in the 2010 NIT. The 26.9 percent by the Eagles is the lowest by an opponent since NC Central shot 25.5 percent on Nov. 11, 2009.
• BC shot less than 30 percent from the floor in both halves, the first time an opponent has done that since UNC Asheville on Nov. 30, 2008.
• Kendall Marshall had a season-high five field goals (previous was four twice). He also committed a season-high five turnovers (previous was four on three occasions).
• John Henson grabbed 12 rebounds, but his double-double streak ended at four games as he finished with six points on 3 for 11 shooting. It was the fifth straight game, sixth game in the last seven and 11th game this year that Henson grabbed double figure rebounds.
• Tyler Zeller scored a game-high 16 points. That is his seventh consecutive game in double figures, the longest streak in his career.
