Posted Mar 2, 2024
R.J. Davis’ 42-point performance in Monday's victory over Miami marked the first outing of 40 points or more for a North Carolina basketball player since Harrison Barnes reached the milestone against Clemson in the ACC Tournament in 2011. Davis and Barnes joined Tyler Hansbrough as the only Tar Heels to eclipse the 40-point mark this century. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
