Following North Carolina topping Virginia 71-63 North Carolina Head Coach Hubert Davis had this to say!

At the end of the day, we're gonna have to be able to knock down some perimeter jump shots,"It is what it is. Without us being able to shoot the ball from beyond the arc, it's just not enough space for Armando to go to work, it's not enough space for guys like RJ and Caleb to be able to attack the basket consistently. [Pete] started us off and he was really hot from three, and I'm just really happy for him."
