When Theo Pinson is playing at his best, the phrase that he and his teammates typically toss around when asked about his performance is "being Theo."
Being Theo, the versatile forward, encompasses a lot. But in Saturday's 95-91 overtime loss against N.C. State, it meant staying aggressive and assuming a majority of the scoring load for a UNC offense that occasionally struggled.
That ultimately yielded one of the best statistical games of his four-year career.
After setting a previous career high of 19 points against Bucknell and Ohio State earlier this season, Pinson scored 22 on 10-for-16 shooting against the Wolfpack.
