Last night against sixth-ranked Virginia, Pete Nance had the type of game that was expected from the graduate transfer this season.
For just the second time in ACC play, Nance shot north of 70 percent from the floor. His contributions on offense, especially in the first half, were key in elusive Quad 1 win for the North Carolina Tar Heels.
It may not have been known at the time, but Nance’s three-pointer to start the game’s scoring would set the tone in the first half.
After some back and forth between the teams, UNC almost doubled up UVA with a 34-18 run to finish the first half.
