The #14 North Carolina Tar Heels defeated the UNLV Runnin' Rebels 78-51 in round one of the Maui Jim Invitational. The Rebels started off strong, jumping out on a 13-0 run in the first three and a half minutes of the game, however after that it was all North Carolina. The Tar Heels closed the half on a 37-17 run and went into halftime leading by 7. To start the second half, UNLV came out flat. The Rebs only shot 16% from the field in the half, and UNC dominated the half from start to finish. David Jenkins only scored 4 points on 1-9 shooting, and the Rebels shot a miserable 8-37 from beyond the arch. North Carolina will play Stanford tomorrow, while UNLV will play Alabama.
