1. Carolina got a win it needed to have with a 80-73 win over Wake Forest. The first half wasn't pretty, but the second half had some encouraging signs.
2. Nice inside-outside combination from Armando Bacot and Caleb Love. Bacot powered up 18 points on 8-for-10 shooting and also added five rebounds while playing through some foul trouble. And Love added 20 points and three assists. Most encouragingly, Love took seven free throws, indicating a better aggressiveness. Love had attempted two free throws in his last five games combined.
