In a game reminiscent of their season opener against UNCW, the Tar Heels was unable to pull away from their opponent Tuesday night despite maintaining a lead most of the game. This time it was the Bulldogs of Gardner-Webb who hung in and stayed close, only trailing by five with as little as two minutes to go in the game. Carolina held on though to win, 72-66.
Caleb Love was the spark for the Tar Heels in the second half, scoring 17 of his game-high 20 points in the second frame, and showing the spark from behind the three-point line that fans had been waiting for.
