The Hawkeyes defeated the Grand Canyon Antelopes 59-46 in last Wednesday’s championship game of the Acrisure Classic. Sophomore Isaia Howard led the team with 19 points off the bench, while senior Bennett Stirtz — who was named tournament MVP — added 13 points and 5 assists. Redshirt freshman Cooper Koch finished with 11 points and 6 boards.
Still, 6-0 is 6-0. The Tar Heels have won all their games by double figures. Both MSU and North Carolina have already accumulated at least 1.0 WAB (wins above bubble), a stat meant to show the strength of a team's NCAA Tournament resume, which is impressive so early in the season.
