Off the cuff: Carolina not only had too much talent for Chaminade but the Heels played with more vigor than they did against Hawaii. Even without the size advantage, and even with Chaminade hitting 10 threes, the Tar Heels would have won this game by virtue of effort. It was the 52nd time, a Roy Williams Tar Heel team has gone over the 100-point mark. Midway through the first half, Coach Williams put senior Stilman White, who rarely plays, into the game and he provided a lift. Inserted because Nate Britt had a couple of fouls and Brandon Robinson displeased Williams on the defensive end, White took advantage of the time. He side stepped a defender and sank a 12-footer and seconds later he penetrated and dished off to Jackson for an assist. He finished with five points, a career high. His previous high had been four points in a 2012 NCAA tournament game before his mission trip.
