It was one of the signature moments of the NCAA Tournament. Caleb Love changed his black Jordan shoes to Blue at halftime of their Sweet 16 game vs. UCLA. Love was one for eight shooting in the first half, in the second he went off for 27 points. UNC won 73-66. "Hoots told me to change them because I never play good in the black shoes," Love said.
