With Selection Sunday rapidly approaching and a whole host of ACC teams in the thick of battle with coronavirus, games are at a premium. Wins are at an even bigger premium, but Carolina was able to get a big one in their late add of Northeastern to their schedule. Carolina got solid production from the youngest Tar Heels on their way to an 82-62 victory.
Day’Ron Sharpe led the way for Carolina, using his commanding size down low to score 15 points and pull down eight rebounds.
