Off the cuff: N.C. Central coach LeVelle Moton wanted to take advantage of Carolina's youth in the backcourt, and the Eagles did just that early on. Neither Caleb Love nor R.J. Davis played well, especially early. Love turned the ball over six times and went just four of nine from the floor. Davis turned the ball over three times and was just two of 10 from the floor. UNC's Armando Bacot, in the first half, and Andrew Platek, in the second half, helped the Tar Heels avoid the upset. It seemed as if a couple of the oh-so-socially-aware sportswriters would have loved it had the Historically Black College could have won. Instead of asking about the Xs and Os, they asked about possibly helping out Black colleges and possibly even working it out so Carolina would play at Central regularly. One reporter even asked a player how he felt about playing a "local rival." Yeah, N.C. Central is a rival to Carolina. The Politically Correct Woke generation of sportswriters wishes so. The same reporter pressed the coaches, trying to get some socially important commentary from them. Moton, to his credit, discussed what Coach Williams had already done for him and his program rather than pushing for more - which was obviously the woke reporter's objective.
