Pete Nance, Caleb Love shoot Tar Heels past pesky Pilots

Posted Nov 24, 2022
No. 1 North Carolina likely will get burned playing to the level of its opponent, but it didn’t happen Thursday against Portland, thanks to Pete Nance and Caleb love. Nance matched his career-high with 28 points and Love added 23 as the Tar Heels held off hot-shooting Portland, 89-81, in the first round of the Phil Knight Invitational in Portland, Oregon.
