UNC vs. Gardner-Webb - Player of the Game: Pete Nance

Sometimes when you show up at a new school, job, or team, you don’t want to ruffle feathers right away. Lie low, survey the scene, pick your moments. That’s what Pete Nance did in UNC’s first two games, playing heavy minutes (34 and 33) with minimal output (6 and 7 points).

Pete Nance is done with that now.

Carolina got off to another slow start in the Dean Dome against a fired up Gardner-Webb. Excluding Nance from the team’s statistics, the Heels shot 4-for-24 from the field for 10 points. Y’all!

Fortunately for them, Pete Nance was shaking loose from the shackles of politeness, and was channeling his inner Luke Maye.
