The layoff was evident with the Eagles shooting only 16.7% in the first half and finishing at 31%, making only 8 of 28 3-point attempts.
North Carolina, however, was in fine form after a slow start. UNC missed its first seven shots but then went 9 of 13 to lead 27-11 after consecutive 3s by Manek. The Tar Heels went on to shoot 47% in the half and already had four players in double figures by the break, leading 49-20.
A 15-3 run in second half — with Love hitting three 3-pointers, made it a 35-point lead 5 1/2 minutes into the second half.
UNC starter Dawson Garcia left the game two minutes in after hitting his head on floor and did not return.
