Following North Carolina topping Virginia 71-63 North Carolina Head Coach Hubert Davis had this to say!

At the end of the day, we're gonna have to be able to knock down some perimeter jump shots,"It is what it is. Without us being able to shoot the ball from beyond the arc, it's just not enough space for Armando to go to work, it's not enough space for guys like RJ and Caleb to be able to attack the basket consistently. [Pete] started us off and he was really hot from three, and I'm just really happy for him."

Though,

Hubert Davis wasn’t the only Head Coach to say following North Carolina topping 6th ranked 71-63 Saturday in Chapel Hill as Virginia Head Coach Tony Bennett did as well saying Pete Nance who was 7-10 on field goals, 4-4 on 3 pointers. His ability to stretch the floor and he can also go inside . he’s a tall man . He filled in like Brady Manek did last year When they can stretch you out all of a sudden the floor opens up . That changes their dynamics.

I've been working really hard at it, and I've been getting a lot of shots up. I was just waiting for the day I was gonna break through, and I feel like today was that day. Just all the credit to my teammates for having belief in me and continuing to tell me to shoot, so it's just all the credit to them."
