KJ SMITH: What's up, everybody? It's KJ Smith here, former Tar Heel and a proud Tar Heel because UNC defeated the UCLA Bruins led by Caleb Love's 30-point game. 27 of those 30 came in the second half. UCLA was led by Jules Bernard's 16 points, but it just wasn't enough to beat the Tar Heels.

Look, I'm a guy who's been in the locker room with Coach Davis last year, so I know exactly what his post-game speech to these players is going to be. Look, we've won this game. Enjoy it for the next 24 hours. But after you take a shower tonight, we have to focus on St. Peter's Sunday, because the job is not finished.

Coach Davis is looking to become the ninth first-year head coach to make it to the Final Four, as the Tar Heels take on the St. Peter's Peacocks. And once again, I'm KJ Smith, proud Tar Heel, and we'll see you next time.
