RJ Davis set a Smith Center record with 42 points in UNC’s 75-71 win over Miami on Monday. Davis’ incredible offensive performance should be the lone story of the game, but it was very nearly overshadowed by the terrible collapse that occurred almost immediately after the new record was set. Miami went on an 11-0 run to pull to within two points late, and UNC only escaped thanks to Jae’Lyn Withers making two crucial free throws.
Carolina has had trouble putting teams away as of late, and tonight was no exception. They had a healthy lead against the Hurricanes, but it evaporated quickly over the final five minutes.
