GAME 38: NATIONAL SEMIFINAL 
• Carolina, East Regional champions, plays West Regional champion Duke in the second national semifinal, Saturday, April 2, in New Orleans in the Caesars Superdome.
• Tip time is approximately 8:49 p.m. Eastern (7:49 p.m. local time). TBS will televise the game.
• The 2022 Final Four is Carolina’s 21st, most in NCAA history. The Tar Heels’ win over Saint Peter’s in the East final was UNC’s 130th in NCAA Tournament history, the most all-time.
• Only four schools have played in more NCAA Tournament games than Carolina has won (Kentucky, Kansas, Duke and UCLA).
• Carolina and Duke are playing for the 258th time but the first time in the NCAA Tournament. The teams have combined for 11 NCAA Tournament titles and are the top two teams by winning percentage in NCAA Tournament history.
• The only other postseason game the teams played other than conference tournaments was in 1971, when the Tar Heels defeated the Blue Devils in the NIT semifinals in Madison Square Garden in New York City.
• The teams split the regular-season games this season with each winning on the other team’s home court. Duke beat Carolina, 87-67, in the Smith Center on February 5, while the Tar Heels defeated Duke, 94-81, a month later in Cameron Indoor Stadium.
• The Carolina-Duke semifinal winner advances to Monday’s national championship game against Kansas (Midwest champion) and Villanova (South champion).
• Carolina (six), Duke (five), Kansas (three) and Villanova (three) have combined to win 17 NCAA Tournament championships.

HOW CAROLINA GOT TO NEW ORLEANS
• Carolina was the No. 8 seed in the East Regional. The Tar Heels defeated No. 9 Marquette, 95-63, and No. 1 Baylor, 93-86, in overtime in Fort Worth, Texas; and beat No. 4 UCLA, 73-66, and No. 15 Saint Peter’s, 69-49, in the regional in Philadelphia. Saint Peter’s had beaten second-seed Kentucky and No. 3 seed Purdue in the earlier rounds.
• Junior forward/center Armando Bacot (Richmond, Va.) was the Most Outstanding Player of the East Regional. He scored 20 points and tied his career high with 22 rebounds in the Elite 8 vs. Saint Peter’s and averaged 16.5 points and 15.8 boards in UNC’s four NCAA wins.
• Carolina has the highest scoring margin (16.5 points), second-largest rebound margin (+12.2), third-most assists per game (19.2) and third-most three-pointers (10.0 per game) in the 2022 NCAA Tournament.
• Caleb Love scored 20 of UNC’s final 29 points, and 27 of his career-high 30 in the second half, to lead the Tar Heels over UCLA. The win was Carolina’s fourth in 13 games this season when trailing at the half.
• Carolina’s win over 11th-ranked UCLA was the Tar Heels’ fourth as an unranked team over a ranked opponent this season (also beat No. 24 Michigan, No. 4 Duke and No. 4 Baylor). It’s the most wins by an unranked UNC team over ranked opponents since winning four times in 2002-03.
• RJ Davis scored 30 and Brady Manek had 26 in the second-round win over Baylor. The Tar Heels had a 67-42 lead midway through the second period, but the Bears forced overtime with a 38-13 run. Davis’s three-point play in overtime proved to be the key play in Carolina’s victory.
• The win over Baylor was Carolina’s ninth all-time over a No. 1 seed, tying Duke for the most in NCAA Tournament history.
• The win over Baylor was also the first time UNC eliminated the defending champion in the NCAA Tournament.
• The win over Baylor, which was ranked No. 4 in the final Associated Press poll, was UNC’s second win over the fourth-ranked team in two weeks. UNC beat No. 4 Duke in Durham on March 5. Those are the 11th and 12th times an unranked Tar Heel team beat a top-five ranked opponent. It is the fourth time an unranked Carolina team beat a pair of top-5 ranked opponents in the same season (also over No. 3 Vanderbilt and No. 5 Duke in 1964-65, over No. 1 Oklahoma and No. 5 Duke in 1989-90 and No. 1 Michigan State and No. 5 Duke in 2013-14).
• Love scored 30 (21 in the first half) and Manek had 28 in the 32-point win over Marquette, which was the largest margin in NCAA Tournament history in a game between 8 and 9 seeds. 

DAVIS ON SHORT FINAL FOUR LISTS 
• Carolina head coach Hubert Davis became the 10th individual to lead a team to the Final Four in his first season as a college head coach, the first since his college assistant coach Bill Guthridge led the Tar Heels to the 1998 Final Four in San Antonio.
• Davis joins Bruce Drake, Oklahoma, 1939; Bully Gilstrap, Texas, 1943; Ray Meyer, DePaul, 1943; Gary Thompson, Wichita State, 1965; Denny Crum, Louisville, 1972; Bill Hodges, Indiana State, 1979; Larry Brown, UCLA, 1980; Steve Fisher, Michigan, 1989; and Guthridge.
• Davis will also become just the second individual to play in a Final Four game and be the head coach in a Final Four at the same school. Davis will join Dick Harp, who played for Kansas in the 1940 Final Four and was head coach of the Jayhawks in 1957 (in the championship game vs. UNC). In yet another UNC-Kansas connection, Harp was an administrative assistant to Dean Smith at UNC from 1986-89, including the 1988-89 season when Jeff Lebo was a senior and Hubert Davis a freshman.
• Davis scored 25 points against Kansas in the 1991 national semifinals in Indianapolis.
• Davis is the sixth Tar Heel head coach to lead the program to the Final Four, joining Ben Carnevale (1946), Frank McGuire (1957), Dean Smith (11 times), Bill Guthridge (1998 and 2000) and Roy Williams (five times).

BACOT REGIONAL MOP
• Armando Bacot was the Most Outstanding Player in the East Regional. 
• Caleb Love and Brady Manek also were named to the All-East Regional team.
• Bacot is one of two players (with Arkansas’ Jaylin Williams) with four double-doubles in the 2022 NCAA Tournament. His 15.8 rebounds per game are the most of any player in the Tournament who played multiple games.
• Manek’s 86 points are the most in the Tournament and his 4.0 three-pointers per game are the third most. His 16 three-pointers are the most by any player in the 2022 Tournament and his 30 total field goals rank third.
• RJ Davis leads the 2022 NCAA Tournament with 24 assists in the four games.
• Caleb Love (72 points) and Bacot (66 points) are fifth and ninth, respectively, in scoring.

Not everyone will understand, but those who know our family are very aware of the circumstances and challenges we are facing. As much as I love this University and basketball, being in the middle of a health crisis is where our family is right now and it’s where I need to be. After the loss of several very special family members this past year, I came close to losing my dad in December and my grandma is currently in the ICU. With my dad recovering and my grandma fighting for her life, it’s not even a question to me where I need to be right now. 
My family is my world and I will always be there for them. The past few months have quickly changed my perspective on life and I have put this into God’s hands and trust His guidance.Times like this bring out the beauty in God’s people and I thank all of Tar Heel Nation, my coaches and my teammates for all the love and support. I thank you for lifting us up with your powerful prayers. The University, this team and fans are special. Go Tar Heels.”
