Nance powers North Carolina over No. 6 Virginia 71-63

Pete Nance scored 22 points as the North Carolina Tar Heels secured an important win, defeating No. 6 Virginia 71-63 on Saturday night

Double-double despite shooting woes Nance had 11 points (3-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 63-59 win over Notre Dame.

Impact Nance recorded an excellent stat line thanks to his two-way play and solid output in the assists category, as he posted a season-high mark in that category. The shooting woes can't be overlooked, however, as he finished the game with more field goals (12) than points scored (11). He's gone six games without surpassing the 11-point mark, but he also has two double-doubles in that stretch.

Questionable Saturday Nance (back) is questionable for Saturday's game against Louisville, Brendan Marks of The Athletic reports.

Impact Nance has missed the last two games due to a back injury, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return for Saturday's matchup. If he's sidelined once again, Seth Trimble will likely continue to start for the Tar Heels.

Likely out Tuesday Nance (back) isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus Virginia.

JANUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Limited during warmups Tuesday Nance (back) warmed up in a limited fashion ahead of Tuesday's game against Virginia, InsideCarolina reports.

Impact Nance is considered a true game-time decision heading into this contest due to a strained back. The 6-foot-11 senior was only able to do some light stretching and shooting while his North Carolina teammates put in a more vigorous pregame routine. While Nance has not been officially ruled out, this lack of intense work doesn't provide much optimism for his availability versus the Cavaliers.

JANUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Tuesday Nance (back) is a game-time decision Tuesday at Virginia, according to Mike Barber of the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Impact Nance's status is such despite him doing an individual workout Sunday and practicing on Monday. If he sits out Tuesday, Seth Trimble or Puff Johnson are expected to be part of the UNC lineup starting at Virginia.

Not starting, unlikely to play Nance (back) will not start and is unlikely to take the floor Saturday versus Notre Dame.

Impact Nance is considered day-to-day with his back issue, so it seems unlikely the problem will keep him sidelined too long, assuming he sits as expected Saturday. Freshman Seth Trimble will make his starting debut in Nance's place.

JANUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Day-to-day Nance (back) is day-to-day ahead of Saturday's matchup with Notre Dame, Ross Martin of InsideCarolina reports.

Impact Nance, who sustained the injury during Wednesday's showdown with Wake Forest, is questionable to suit up on Saturday. The 6-foot-11 senior has started in all 15 games this season, contributing 10.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists and one block on 29.1 minutes per game. If Nance is ultimately unable to suit up on Saturday, Puff Johnson would likely see an expanded role.
