CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — It was, perhaps, the best single possession of North Carolina’s basketball season and it perfectly summed up its 75-59 win over Georgia Tech on Saturday in its ACC home opener.
R.J. Davis passed up an open 3-pointer from the top of the key to lob a pass to Armando Bacot inside. Before even coming down with the ball, Bacot passed the ball out to Pete Nance, who was open for 3 in the left corner. But Nance swung the ball to Davis, who had a clearer look.
Davis instead pump faked the shot to send a defender flying past and took a dribble inside the arc. As Georgia Tech’s Kyle Sturdivant left Nance to contest the dribble, Davis passed it back to Nance in the corner.
