The UNC basketball program pulled off the big upset on Saturday afternoon, downing No. 1 Baylor in overtime to punch their ticket to the Sweet 16.
UNC found themselves up 25 before having to hold off a pesky Bears team in overtime for the win. And a big reason why they got that win was 30 points from R.J. Davis and 27 from Brady Manek. Despite Manek getting ejected with 10+ minutes left in the game, UNC was still able to pull off the upset and continue their season.
Following the game, the team celebrated in the locker room as they knew they were advancing on. They also met the media where they were able to talk about the performance and how they put it all together.
Now, they face a tough test again as No. 4 UCLA awaits them on Friday night with a trip to the Elite 8 on the line.
Here are three quotes from head coach Hubert Davis on his team’s big win and advancing onto the Sweet 16.
