Davis scores 24, helps rally No. 9 North Carolina past Elon

RJ Davis scored 24 points and keyed No. 9 North Carolina’s 11-0 run after falling behind in the second half in a 90-76 victory over Elon in the teams’ season opener

Strong start to season Davis racked up 24 points (7-19 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Monday's 90-76 win over Elon.
