Carolina was due for a stinker. After their breathtaking win at Duke and a severe stomping of Virginia, it wouldn’t be the 2021-22 UNC Tar Heels if they didn’t have a heavy loss sprinkled in the mix.
So it came to pass, as the Hokies beat Carolina on their third try. The vaunted Iron Five were running on fumes, and even though RJ Davis, Caleb Love, and Brady Manek all scored 10 points each, they were extremely inefficient doing so.
As a team, UNC shot 36.7% from the field. Davis shot 20%, Love 17.
