RJ Davis puts UNC on his back vs. Miami | What happened down the stretch?

RJ Davis unleashed a historic performance on Monday night inside the Smith Center, the highest scoring individual game by a player in the history of the Smith Center – and his team needed every one of those 42 points to get over the hump against a Miami team that was playing with house money. Is it bad for your superstar to go off like that rather than a balanced attack? What happened to North Carolina down the stretch? Why did things get so tight, so quickly? The bench trio of Seth Trimble, Jae’lyn Withers, and Jalen Washington yet again delivered some incredibly helpful minutes for their team in holding off Miami’s comeback.

Going to have to find a way to play better on short turn around in the tournament. But can’t complain with a top 10 team, 1st in the ACC, a win over duke (and VA at home) & a one or two seed very much in play for the NCAAs. Go Tar Heels!

@BrandonTWills says:

It was like God used RJ’s horrible night at VA to motivate him to be what we needed to win against Miami. This season (3) is blessed. Things are kind of odd since Hubert took over.

@BrandonTWills says:

I was praying we would get this RJ when he moved to the two. Guess some prayers are answered the way we want.

@BrandonTWills says:

Just when the other team is wearing down, we slow down & help them get a second wind. Doesn’t make sense. Only slow down if up by 20 & under five minutes to go. And maybe never when playing Duke.

@marcusmitchell5340 says:

RJ he's a bad man💥

@BrandonTWills says:

Better late than never Ingram. Glad you finally made it to the real party.

@Crimson-Ox says:

Armondo played like garbage‼️ You can’t come toUNC and be mediocre, stop trying to placate his ego

@chowido76 says:

I just dont know why noone attacked the paint once Omier got 4 fouls. Did Coach Davis make them aware?

@jamiewilliams7443 says:

We got to clean up somethings down the end of games

@grandfresh9196 says:

Again we need more of a balance off…

@garyhenderson3353 says:

Bacon has been soft all season,after 6 years, he should be a leader on the team.

@michaelholbrook9645 says:

If RJ Davis and Armando Bacot don't go #1 and #2 in the All-ACC voting, I will be shocked!

@dalechristianer4465 says:

Where can you find the stats with +/- for the players?

@richardshermanjr1899 says:

I haven't seen anybody talking about this – with the win over Miami UNC secured a double bye in the ACC tournament. They will play on Thursday for sure.

@jackharrington697 says:

J Wit is the man!

@stayvigilant7856 says:

22-6 14-3 let's go!! Best record since 18-19 season

@meattooth1303 says:

i was hard to celebrate RJ the way heels folded again vs. Miami in the final 3-4 minutes. i was pi$$ed after that game and it was a win.

@rogerbeck3560 says:

Heels still have alot to work on.

@coachprescott72 says:

End of game is killing us:( Milking the clock is awful. Happy for the W, but this was not good

@michaelmuldrow492 says:

Way to go RJ ACC PLAYER OF THE year my sister passed away in July miss watching games with her woula love to see this team go far go tarheels 5:47

@michaelmuldrow1421 says:

Turnovers are ridiculous

@DoctorWhoNo1A says:

Against Miami, RJ made 7 shots inside the arc, 7 beyond the arc and 7 free throws. I think there's a pattern here somewhere…

@michaelriggs9232 says:

Thank you J Wit!

@Tousreformed says:

Number 1: A Hall of Fame Coach who’s won 740 games vs 3rd Year Coach who’s won 71 games & beat the Hall of Fame Coach who’s won 740 games.

Yes. We got sped up at the end as the more seasoned coach threw a different look at us, but our coach still led the team to victory. Coach Hubert Davis is a good basketball coach. 71-29 in three years, I’ll take it! He was the right hire.

Number 2: RJ Davis is a daggum dawg! That step back should have caused his draft stock to step up. No way 30 players are better than him in the current draft. He is a first rounder and I’m standing on business. It’s a #GDTBTH 🐏 🐏 🐏

@Devthesportsjunkie says:

I miss the 10 game win streak. We've been really wishy washy since. Barely winning games, late game collapses, losing to teams we shouldn't, etc. I hope we return to form as the tourney approaches.

@stevehelton7825 says:

Players should use the backboard more way to many close shots missed thank God for RJ without him this team would be lost.
