Historic greatness and oddities as RJ Davis’ career night helps Tar Heels beat Miami

Posted Feb 27, 2024
While R.J. Davis was etching his place in UNC basketball history and shooting himself into the national player of the year conversation, Miami was intent on ruining the party. His Smith Center-record 42 points and seven 3-pointers helped the Tar Heels beat a hot-shooting Miami team Monday. But the 75-71 victory wasn’t put away until two seconds remained.
