TL;DR

Cal jumped out to an early lead and never trailed, beating UNC 84-78 in Berkeley behind hot 3-point shooting (14-for-26); UNC mounted a late rally but couldn’t complete the comeback, with Derek Dixon starting and scoring 14 and Caleb Wilson leading UNC with 17. Free-throw struggles (17-for-28) and late execution cost the Tar Heels, while Bay Area Tar Heel fans packed Haas Pavilion. Next up: a home game vs Notre Dame.
