FRIDAY’S MATCHUPS

No. 13 NORTH CAROLINA (6-1) vs. DAVIDSON (3-2)

Spectrum Center, Charlotte, 8 p.m. ESPN2

Luke Maye scored 27 points Wednesday in North Carolina’s 86-71 victory against Michigan. Maye, a 6-foot-8, 240-pound former Hough High standout, could be a tough matchup for Davidson. ...The Wildcats will depend on a trio of leaders – Peyton Aldridge, Jon Axel Gudmundsson and Kellan Grady – who accounted for 70 percent of the scoring in Tuesday’s 85-70 romp at Charlotte.
