Friday night was big for UNC basketball star [autotag]RJ Davis[/autotag] as he became the first Tar Heel to record 20 points, 10 assists, and five steals in a single game.
Davis was an unstoppable force against Charleston Southern, lighting up the stat sheet on offense and defense. In the first five minutes of the game, Davis scored 10 of his 20 points, and it was easy sailing from there.
Davis has always been a threat to get a bucket, but with the departure of Caleb Love, the UNC guard has turned it up to another notch. The 20-point performance marked the eighth game in a row where he had had 20+ points or more.

This season, Davis is averaging 21.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game, ranking eighth in the nation. If Davis can continue his scoring streak while UNC picks up wins, he could be in the conversation for Player of the Year.
