On a night when Carolina paid tribute to the past at the Dean Smith Center, the Tar Heels showed why the future is bright in a 81-61 win against Georgetown Sunday.
Henri Veesaar and Caleb Wilson each posted double-doubles, with Veesaar’s 18-point, 15-rebound outing his fifth of the season. For Wilson, the 20-point, 14-rebound night was his sixth. Freshman Derek Dixon finished with a career-high 14 points on 5-7 shooting off the bench.
With the contest being themed as a “Throwback Game,” the Tar Heels wore their retro jerseys, while the video boards inside the Smith Center displayed retro numbering and lettering. The program honored the 1982 national championship team – which defeated the Hoyas in the title game – throughout the evening. Sunday’s game was the first meeting between the two schools since the 2007 NCAA Tournament.
The Tar Heels will be back in action when they host USC Upstate at the Smith Center Saturday, December 13 at 2 p.m.
