CHAPEL HILL – North Carolina found ways to score on a night it didn’t shoot particularly well in taking care of Elon, 80-63, on Saturday at the Smith Center.
Caleb Love and Dawson Garcia led UNC with 22 points each, but it was also the Tar Heels’ work on the glass (17 second-chance points) and turning defense into offense (23 points off Elon turnovers) that were the difference in the game.
The Tar Heels improved to 7-2 on the season while the Phoenix dropped to 2-8.
