Justin Pierce helps UNC weather a storm in Wilmington and win, 78-62

Well, I’m glad that’s over. On a night of frustration that started with the UNC fandom-wide realization that the game would only be shown on FloHoops thanks to the CAA’s exclusive contract with them, only for those who managed to find FloHoops one way or the other to realize that the channel’s quality was... dubious, the on-court product between the Tar Heels and the UNCW Seahawks wasn’t much better. Still, the Heels weathered some bad play and eventually overpowered former UNC assistant C.B. McGrath’s team, 78-62, behind double-doubles from Garrison Brooks, Cole Anthony, and Justin Pierce in a breakout game for the graduate transfer.
