RJ Davis - Goes for 26 points in winDavis supplied 26 points (8-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 82-67 victory over SMU.

ImpactDavis bounced back from his eight-point showing in the win over Notre Dame on Jan. 4, and this 26-point effort was his third-best scoring mark of the campaign. Davis, the ACC Preseason Player of the Year, has scored at least 20 points five times already and has reached the 15-point mark in 11 of his 16 appearances.

Drake Powell - Puts up 17 points TuesdayPowell finished Tuesday's 82-67 win over SMU with 17 points (6-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes.

ImpactEven though the star duo of RJ Davis and Ian Jackson led the way for UNC in this win, there's no question Powell made his presence felt on both ends of the court as well. Powell, a freshman born in NC, has been trending in the right direction and has scored in double digits in three of his last four starts.

Chuck Harris - Scores 18 points off benchHarris supplied 18 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 82-67 loss to North Carolina.

ImpactHarris was one of the standout performers for the Mustangs in this 15-point defeat, and he finished as the team's leading scorer despite coming off the bench. Surpassing the 10-point mark isn't odd for Harris, however. He's scored in double digits in four of his last five outings, and in 10 of his 15 appearances throughout the campaign.
