Tar Heels Avoid Thanksgiving Upset, Top Portland
Posted Nov 24, 2022

The No. 1 Tar Heels survived what was supposed to be their Phil Knight Invitational appetizer, and turned back Portland 89-81 on Thursday in Portland, Oregon. Pete Nance’s 28 points and Caleb Love’s 23 helped UNC (5-0) escape an upset that would’ve sent a shock across college basketball.
