For the first time this decade, the Heels finally won a basketball game that was effectively “over” by the second media timeout of the second half. A rusty Louisville squad made the trip to Chapel Hill after their second COVID pause of the season, and promptly took a 45-point drubbing. UNC juussssst missed the triple digits required for biscuits, but a 99-54 victory accomplished the main objective.
This season, a win is a win is a win. North Carolina pushed their home record to 8-0 on the season, and technically moved into coveted 4th place in the ACC.
