UNC MEN’S BASKETBALL COMPLETES COMEBACK, DEFEATS NO. 18 UCLA AT CBS SPORTS CLASSIC
----
Carolina trailed by as many as 16 points in the second half against No. 18 UCLA at the CBS Sports Classic in Madison Square Garden on Saturday evening, but the Tar Heels climbed all the way back to beat the Bruins 76-74 and earn a critical win.

R.J. Davis scored 17 points in his New York homecoming, including two go-ahead free throws with 13 seconds remaining. Freshman Ian Jackson, originally from the Bronx, led the Tar Heels with 24 points off the bench. He played 32 minutes, more than any Tar Heel outside of Davis.

UNC’s 76-74 advantage was its first since the score was 2-0 in the game’s opening moments. The Bruins charged ahead after that leading by as many as 13 points at 31-18 before carrying a 40-32 advantage into halftime. Against one of the nation’s stingiest defenses, the Tar Heels committed 11 first-half turnovers and shot just 9-24 (37.5 percent) from the floor — but Carolina rallied, outscoring the Bruins 18-6 across five minutes to get back within a single possession.

The victory improves Carolina to 7-5 on the season, and gives the Tar Heels a critical Quad 1 win for their postseason résumé. UNC has won seven straight against UCLA and also has 31 wins in the current iteration of Madison Square Garden.
