Posted Nov 8, 2022
UNC isn’t pushing the panic button. The top-ranked Tar Heels got all they could handle from UNCW in Monday's season opener but ultimately earned a 69-56 win at the Smith Center. "We were a little rusty," said junior guard Caleb Love, who finished with 17 points. "Once we get our wind under each other and get our chemistry back, we’ll be just fine." (Fayetteville Observer)
