UNC coach reacts to the match
Although Love’s three-pointer may have made the difference, it is not the only thing that made headlines. Interestingly enough, fans noticed that Love changed his shoes at halftime, and apparently, the coach knew nothing about it.
Speaking about the match, former Chicago Bulls player Hubert Davis was all praises for Caleb. According to him, “ I didn’t even know he switched shoes. I don’t think it was just the shoes, I just think that Caleb played really well.

He added, “You know, one of the things that I said is that in big-time games like this, it has nothing to do about coaching. It is about players stepping up and making plays and everybody that played made plays and Caleb made a lot.”
