Those 113 points are the tied for the second-most ever (113 vs. Penn in 1987) in an NCAA Tournament game by the Tar Heels. The most points ever scored in a NCAA Tournament game by North Carolina came against Loyola Marymount in 1988 (123 points).
  • UNC out-rebounded the Mountaineers by a 48-22 margin this evening. That is the largest rebound margin in a NCAA Tournament game by the Tar Heels (previous best was +25 against Missouri in 2000). It is the 29th time in its last 30 games that the Tar Heels have out-rebounded their opponent. The only exception came on March 14 when Florida State and North Carolina had 30 rebounds apiece.
