The goal is simple for Roy Williams and the Tar Heels basketball team this year -- average 90 points per game and try to break the school's per-game scoring record. Accomplishing that feat may prove to be challenging, but it sounds like they're welcoming the task.

Lucas: Tar Heels Plan Breakneck Pace :: This year's Tar Heels have targeted Carolina's per-game scoring record.
By Adam Lucas
That's the kind of offensive optimism that surrounds the upcoming Tar Heels as they open exhibition play Wednesday night against St. Aug's... The all-time Carolina scoring record is 91.3 points per game, set by the 1986-87 squad. That team featured Kenny Smith, J.R. Reid, Jeff Lebo, and Joe Wolf, went 14-0 in the ACC, and might have been one of the two best Tar Heel teams that didn't win a national title.
This year's team doesn't want to just contest that mark. They want to shatter it. Early season returns--including an intrasquad scrimmage Sunday that saw the two teams combine to nearly break 125 points in one regulation half, which means either potent offensive firepower or lots of work to do on defense--have been encouraging.

So, what do you guys think? Can UNC average more than 90 ppg this season?
