UNC vs. Syracuse: Player of the Game — Caleb Love

As Caleb Love goes, so goes the team.

In a lot of ways, last night’s game was a microcosm of his season. For the first 37 minutes of the game, the sophomore was only 2-14 from the floor overall, and 1-8 from behind the arc. At the beginning of the second half, his play had been so lackluster that Hubert Davis did something he rarely does: sit Caleb on the bench. Puff Johnson saw extended minutes during the second half while Caleb took some time to figure out what was going on. He was the primary defender on Cole Swider who came within one point of tying the mark for an opposing player in the Smith Center.
