He may no longer be playing for UNC basketball anymore, but come Thursday night, Tar Heels Nation as a whole wants nothing but the best for sharpshooter Caleb Love. Why, you ask? Well, it's because Love and Arizona are in the Sweet Sixteen going up against Duke.
We don't have to tell you that everyone in Chapel Hill is hoping that Arizona can post a win and send Cooper Flagg and Co. home early. As it turns out, North Carolina legend Tyler Hansbrough is ready for Love to break Duke hearts once again.
Not only that, but should the Wildcats stun the Blue Devils and end their season, Hansbrough joked while speaking with The Field of 68 that he'll see to it that Love's Arizona jersey gets hung in the rafters over at the Dean Dome. That's pretty dang funny from the former UNC national champ.
UNC great Tyler Hansbrough wants nothing more than for Caleb Love to end Duke's season
"If Caleb does this, let's go ahead and throw his jersey up there - we'll put an Arizona one up there," Hansbrough said with a smile on his face. "I would love to see him do it."
You're not the only one who would love to see him do it, Tyler. Bring up Love to a Duke fan and they'll surely look a bit down in the dumps. No one has forgotten about his unreal 3-pointer in the Final Four against Duke back in 2022. It was easily one of Love's best plays while donning a Tar Heels jersey.
Following the 2022-23 season, the standout guard made the tough call to leave the program and sign with Arizona. Despite that, he has said multiple times he's always going to have love for UNC and that he appreciated his time on campus. Love has a golden opportunity to make people incredibly happy if he can lead his team over the No. 1 seeded Blue Devils. Get it done, Mr. Love.
