UNC Basketball’s Win Whips Social Media Into A Frenzy

The UNC men’s basketball team will dance for another day in the NCAA Tournament.

The Tar Heels’ win over last year’s semi-finalist UCLA on Friday night punched Carolina’s ticket to their first Elite Eight since 2017. Riding the performance of sophomore Caleb Love, who had a career-high 30 points, UNC won 73-66 and will now face 15-seed Saint Peter’s University on Sunday afternoon.

Here were some of the reactions shared on social media in the immediate aftermath of the Tar Heels’ victory in Philadelphia:
