RJ Davis pushes back on idea that North Carolina has lost its fight

Posted Feb 11, 2025
After the game, R.J. Davis was asked if UNC had lost its fight, as the Tar Heels seem to have less in the tank later in the season against teams they fall behind early. "No, I don’t think so. I just think they were the better team tonight. They were the more hungry team, and they played like they wanted it more than us. That’s the frustrating part." (On3.com)
