North Carolina was seriously challenged throughout by College of Charleston, but the No.1 Tar Heels ultimately prevailed, pulling away to a biscuits win, 102-86. Carolina trailed by 7 at the half, allowing the Cougars to jump to a 50-43 lead, but fought hard and pulled away in the second half. In a twist, Leaky Black carried the Tar Heel offense in the first half, and finished with 15 points on a perfect 6-6 shooting night. Caleb Love finished with 25 points, Armando Bacot had 28, and RJ Davis had 11.

Charleston is going to beat some good teams. Kid's are scary
Bacot is a BEAST! 💙💙💙
We looking real good go heels
Charleston gave em a run for
It tho!.. go heels for Life!
I was shocked looking at the box score and seeing that Bacot only had a single rebound and single point at half. He certainly had a monster second half to make up for it.
Good game good game and they needed this type of game early. Carolina got too many weapons and they will be fine.
Great win! By the way, I only noticed that only like several people in the whole Dean Dome wore masks. I did notice one person That halfway had it on in the front. Also, during the Pitt game a week or so ago our football team only like three fans they did show one outlier who wore a mask in the stands. Those people unless they have some kind of health condition or something they are the laughingstock Americans now look everyone’s having a good time I mean I laugh at the very few who wear masks. The few who still do are an eyesore to the rest of society. Mask wearers are laughing stocks. Fans that cheer for referees or officials are laughing stocks.
And Love and Davis still need to learn how to play defense at the guard positions. 🤔
We need to start off the 1st half as good as we start the 2nd, play a full 40 minutes guys, c'mon your gonna kill me with these 1st halves but a W's a W Charleston just couldn't answer the surge Good Game
Good for the Heels to be tested early by these quality mid-majors like UNCW and CoC. These are legit programs and can't just be penciled in as wins.
A little while ago I was elaborating on injuries followed by a reply the thing about it is injuries do happen I don’t like seeing it but it’s almost inevitable it’s almost 100% guaranteed it’s not 100% guaranteed that at some point during the season, we will have injured players or an injured player unfortunately I don’t like thinking negative but every year it happens to one of our players. That’s the thing about college basketball that I think is an unfortunate situation that is hard to avoid everybody deals with injuries I’ve seen it so many times so many times it’s very hard not to get injured I hope it doesn’t happen but the reality is they happen regularly during the season it happens to everybody everybody has to deal with injuries the problem is falling on the floor falling on the court getting injured costs you big. It’s very hard not to get injured. How about last year us in the national championship against Kansas, right? All of our players were injured. Think about it! We had so many injuries that’s what costed us the national championship everybody on our team more than half of our team RJ Davis was hurt last year. Injuries are a big deal. Because if you’re injured that is going to hurt your other teammates as well I mean coaches do not like seeing their players injured nobody likes that fans do not like it this is what loses games injuries. Injuries are costly you need players I mean you’re gambling with your players if you bring somebody in who is a benchwarmer that’s going to make your team choke In Important situations I don’t think there is a single team that I am aware of that has gone through the year without an injury for the starters. Nobody in the medical department of the arena during the game wants to come out on the court to make sure your player is OK nobody wants to do that. That’s what keeps the medical staff during the game up at night they don’t want to Have to deal with in the next game the player who went up for the way up to go to the hoop against his opponent, and step on the other player, and fall to start the game for a couple of minutes nobody wants to deal with that. But you risk that when you play on the team that’s the thing about it. How can you avoid injuries?
It's early but if we are to hang a banner we have to start better. Go Heels💙🤍🐑
Charleston isn’t bad at all
unc gave up 86 fucking points LMAOOOOOOO
State fan here, that dunk from the kid on Charleston in the 1st few minutes was kinda nasty i can't lie
When Bacot learns how to defend bigs we can really be unstoppable
Gotta stay on the gas early, guard tight and play stick em defense. A solid win fellas! Keep the momentum! Go Heels!
Got battled tested early good win boys
Carolina Cheating as always!!! Could get no charging calls or contested calls. Great job refs 👏 👏 👏 👏
My Cougars played with no fear though. Great game
That Horton guy is going to make it.
Bacon had 20 fouls.. RIDICULOUS
I'm glad the Heels aren't steamrolling early opponents. Keeps them humble and emphasizes weaknesses in their game that must be improved.
Heels!!
some incredibly porous defense in the paint by the Heels, Coach Davis cannot be happy
I am sooooooo glad they are not giving warnings for flopping but instead technical fouls 💯
He heels hope they keep growing!
Way to show up Charleston. Tarheels will be in a nice grove come mid December we a little rusty right now, but just you wait… Go Tarheels!
We can't keep sleep walking into opponents. Them boys better get woke before they go broke.
Massive Heels fan, but see us getting upset in the Sweet 16. The best team doesn't always win. It's the team that gets hottest during March., like we did last year.
Charleston and Wilmington both gave Carolina a tough game. Makes me wonder if the Heels are really that good. They certainly don't look like a number one team.
Charleston always shows up. Great game by UNC. Those dunks in the last few minutes got me fired up.
That last dunk to send Charleston home by Caleb was nasty!
Good game, Charleston is a really good team.
All the way baby!! UNC
It’s great to finally see that when they get punched in the mouth they come out and punch back it’s about time Tar Heels
Manek never left the building Tyler Nickle in the making in that character!
Nance doing his thing for now but never shoots the much for now🎉
People on the internet had me worried!!
What you just seen was HEART!!!
What you just seen was DETERMINATION!!
What you just seen KNOWLEDGE OF SELVES!!!
THEY'RE PLAYING LIKE THEY BELIEVE!!!
THEY'RE PLAYING LIKE THEY ALREADY KNOW!!!
IM PROUD TO BE A TARHEEL! JUST AS PROUD AS THEY ARE TO BE!!!!
I hate the tar heels tbh I'm a huge duke blue devils fan
The tar heels suck ass
The whole off season all I heard was how much bacot has improved….these past two games it looks like he’s never played basketball a day in his life. Almost 7ft tall and playing likes he’s 4ft.
Leaky Black remains a solid figure for the tarheels!
This felt like a tournament game. Which is good. Carolina needs to learn to cook early in games so they won’t be trailing big later in the game. Not taking anything from Charleston they are a great team and should win the Big South this year and make a deep run in the tournament this year if they keep playing like that and stay healthy. Hopefully they will get better at hitting the 3s 5/20 not really great. But it’s good to know we can still score a hundred points without hitting a lot of 3s.
We sure didn't play like the #1 team in the land this game should have never even been this close at all period!!!
Let’s go heels
