5 Takeaways From Carolina's 85-64 Win Over the Demon Deacons

Posted Jan 24, 2024
The boxes North Carolina eventually checked Monday were aplenty, and even a bit historic, too. R.J. Davis recorded a career-high 36 points, 23 of which came after halftime, in which the Tar Heels trailed, UNC stifled Wake Forest’s potent offense, and the third-ranked Heels dominated the glass in cruising to an 85-64 victory. It wasn’t always pretty. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
