For those of you who were hoping for the Tar Heels to play an entire 40 minutes of quality of basketball, this was the closest they have gotten to that so far this season. The Heels came out of the gate firing on all cylinders against James Madison behind excellent performances from Armando Bacot and RJ Davis, and ultimately they left the Dean Dome with an 80-64 win to improve their record to 4-0.
After three sub-par first halves against their previous opponents, UNC played like they had something to prove to open this one. Their defense against James Madison was sharp, and they did a great job moving the ball on offense to find quality shots.
