North Carolina Pours It In From Deep

Once again, another outstanding shooting performance from the Heels, as they shot a total of 48% from beyond the three-point line, making 14 out of 29 shot attempts.

 

Lifting them above the Seminoles in their 77-66 victory, securing their third win in a row as the regular season comes to a close.

 

Surely, if this kind of shooting continues, UNC will likely get their shot to dance in the NCAA Tournament.

 

Leaky Black Seals The Deal 

The fifth-year senior out of Concord, North Carolina, makes a game-sealing slam at the 1:32 mark during the second half. Stretching the lead to four with a score of 68-62, holding off Florida State's attempt at a comeback.

 

Black's scoring ability lately has been key to UNC's success, as he seems more confident than ever in his Tar Heel career.

 

Hopefully, there's still more in the tank as North Carolina makes a push for the postseason.

A Rivalry Rematch In Chapel Hill 

Round 2 of UNC versus Duke makes its way to the Dean E. Smith Center tonight at 6:30 p.m. ET.

 

One last game before the ACC Tournament as well as the chance to boost UNC's tournament resume even more.

 

There's a lot on the line for senior night—so much to watch out for.
