Lucas: Rapid Reactions - UNC vs. Elon

Posted Nov 4, 2024
Well, that season opener had a little of everything. But UNC had too much for Elon, holding on for a 90-76 win. Sometimes it's just nice to have the ACC Player of the Year on the team. R.J. Davis finished with 24 points and scored ten of them after Elon took the late lead. This isn't the 1997-98 Tar Heels just yet, but this team is fun to watch in transition. (GoHeels.com)
