The Cyclones knocked off the #1 Tar Heels Final score of 70–65 on Black Friday.
Caleb Grill would open the game with a three pointer, and he would stay hotter than fish grease. After making some early threes, North Carolina got back in the game quickly thanks to Armando Bacot and some fouls committed by the Cyclones. Osun Osunniyi would quickly pick up two fouls in less than two minutes, both guarding Bacot.
North Carolina would wind up taking a 24-15 lead, stretching out the lead via three point shooting and some untimely Cyclone turnovers. Lipsey and Osun were a little careless with the ball at times, leading to easy UNC hoops.
