The #1 Tar Heels used a strong defensive effort to defeat the Seahawks at the Smith Center, 69-56, while holding UNC Wilmington to just 29% shooting. Caleb Love and RJ Davis led the Carolina offense with 17 points each, while Armando Bacot added 16 points and 9 rebounds.

I was there tonight sitting right behind Ramsey.
Wow The boys from the coast played a good game tonight. The Heels are going to be just fine. First game jitters. 1 down 35 to go . Go Heels!
Go Heels.
This game was wayyyy closer than it should've been
any nba talent???? smh
69 points on a CAA team? SMH
U GO TAR HEELS🏀
I'll say Wilmington came to play tonight but Carolina didn't let down. Slow win start for the Heels but in this game of bball it's not how you start it's how you finish…
Defense
I don't know that the tar heels will play a team all year that's as good 1-5 as they are. They will play teams with better players, but not better the whole way down the starting 5. Plus I think they are a lot deeper than they were last year
UNC dont look good I can see them dropped down to two spots they don't look like the best team in the nation.UNCW almost came away with a huge upset
Lets go Tarheels
Good win heels. Way to start off the season. Focus on one game at a time and stay humble. Everybody is gunning for y’all this year so expect a lot of fierce competition. This path ain’t going to be easy for y’all.
Tarheels wont sneak under the radar like last yr. Big target on there backs.Havent seen everyone play yet but im very skeptical of that #1 ranking
My Buckeyes will beat UNC if they play like this
910!
unc trash fr 🤣
Great work both teams

I love my Tar Heels but this team is not the same as previous pre season number 1 teams from UNC. Not convinced the tournament team from last year is who this team is going forward. Gotta prove they didn’t just catch hot at the right time
UNCW usually plays well when going against ranked teams. Last night was no different.
A win, but not a good win. We were out-rebounded by UNCW, completely unacceptable. Hoping this was just first-game jitters.
The tarheels aren't as good as when they are underdogs .
