Jamarius Burton - Explodes for 31 pointsBurton accumulated 31 points (14-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 34 minutes during Friday's 76-74 victory over North Carolina.

ImpactThe Panthers pulled a huge upset Friday against the Tar Heels and Burton was one of the big reasons why that happened, as he carried the team offensively while missing just three of his 17 field goal attempts. Burton is having a career-best season so far and is averaging 15.8 points with 5.1 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. All three are career-best figures for the senior.

RJ Davis - 16 points with five boards FridayDavis notched 16 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes during Friday's 76-74 loss to Pittsburgh.

ImpactExcluding a subpar six-point performance against Citadel on Dec. 13, Davis has been a huge threat for the Tar Heels on offense -- he has surpassed the 15-point mark in each of his other five appearances in December while also posting solid numbers in other categories. He ends December with averages of 17.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.0 steals per game across six outings.

Armando Bacot - Goes for 22 points FridayBacot contributed 22 points (8-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 37 minutes during Friday's 76-74 loss to Pittsburgh.

ImpactOne of the most productive big men in the ACC and the driving force of the Tar Heels on offense, Bacot has been on a tear of late and has reached the 20-point mark in four of his last five contests. He also has four double-doubles in that span.

D'Marco Dunn - Sees 20 minutes in returnDunn (hand) finished with five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one steal and a block across 20 minutes in a loss to Pittsburgh on Friday.

ImpactDunn made his return from a five-game absence due to a broken hand and immediately saw a season-high 20 minutes on the floor. He only averaged four minutes per contest as a freshman last season and appears to have gained more trust from head coach Hubert Davis. He'll look to help the Tar Heels turn things around when the host Wake Forest on Jan. 4.
