RJ Davis is the first Tar Heel ever to have 10 or more assists in one NCAA Tournament game and 30 points in the next (Joel Berry II in 2016 and Kenny Smith twice in 1987 had double-figure assists followed by 20-point games).
RJ Davis scored a career-high 30 points (previous 26 vs. Brown).
Freshman Dontrez Styles scored a season-high nine points (previous was vs. Florida State). His three-pointer to begin OT was his third of the season.
Styles played 24 minutes and 57 seconds. His previous longest stint was 15 minutes against Florida State on February 12.
Carolina had 22 assists on 28 field goals today and had 51 assists on 62 field goals in the two games in Fort Worth (82.3%).
Carolina is 128-48 in the NCAA Tournament, one win behind Kentucky for the most all-time.
Carolina led by 13 at half and 25 in the second half before Baylor closed the half in a 43-18 run to tie the game.
UNC has never lost an NCAA Tournament game when it led by double figures at halftime. UNC is now 45-0 in those games.
If Baylor had won, Carolina’s 25-point lead would have been the largest ever in a UNC loss. The record is 24 by Florida State on Jan. 22, 2004. The most an opponent ever trailed by in the second half in a UNC loss was 22 by Maryland on Jan. 8, 1997.
Brady Manek scored 26 points (had 28 vs. Marquette). Other Tar Heels with at least 26 in consecutive NCAA games: Lennie Rosenbluth 1957, Phil Ford 1977, JR Reid 1987 and Michael Jordan in 1983 and 1984.
