But he was also unable to see success for almost the entire game even as UNC built a 38-22 late in the first half. His overall performance, just like his last shot, was on the receiving end of jokes.Crxyz🤞@CrxyzsznCaleb Love in the biggest game of the year10:36 AM · Apr 4, 202226842Caleb Love in the biggest game of the year https://t.co/uRuVR9tRyNRobert Smith, Jr.@RSmithJrTVNo Love for Carolina tonight.

No UNC fan will forgive you for that performance. That was an insanely bad shot taken by yourself in the entire 2nd half. That deep three was bad. Please go back and redeem yourself. #NCAAChampionship #TarHeels #KansasvsUNC #NorthCarolina10:40 AM · Apr 4, 202221Caleb Love, please stay another year.

That may or may not entice him into another run at a championship. What is certain is that Love's performance against Kansas will be one he wants to forget.Nick Cruz@Nick_Cruz10@SportsCenter Caleb Love for the tie!10:47 AM · Apr 4, 2022821@SportsCenter Caleb Love for the tie! https://t.co/BIrZ6rlv5I.🫥.@philfanaccI really did not Love that performance from Caleb tonight.10:46 AM · Apr 4, 20226311I really did not Love that performance from Caleb tonight.Austin N@ArracetiA@BleacherReport Caleb Love10:44 AM · Apr 4, 2022815@BleacherReport Caleb Love https://t.co/qWuqnUYBfzً@NlCKBOLTONCALEB LOVE TO TIE THE GAME!!10:38 AM · Apr 4, 202221848CALEB LOVE TO TIE THE GAME!! https://t.co/GF249LcIBDIn the most significant moment, Love could not deliver. Still, his performance throughout March Madness is worthy of praise despite the finish.North Carolina's Caleb Love was great outside of its loss to KansasLove came up big for North Carolina against UCLA and Duke before struggling against Kansas.Despite his struggles against the Jayhawks(34-6), Caleb Love was crucial to getting the Tar Heels (29-10) to the national championship game. Love's efforts throughout March Madness were acknowledged when the all-tournament team was announced.Adam Zagoria@AdamZagoriaAll-Tournament Team:Armando Bacot (UNC)Paolo Banchero (Duke)Caleb Love (UNC)David McCormack (Kansas)Ochai Agbaji (Kansas): Most Outstanding Player10:57 AM · Apr 4, 20224510All-Tournament Team:Armando Bacot (UNC)Paolo Banchero (Duke)Caleb Love (UNC)David McCormack (Kansas)Ochai Agbaji (Kansas): Most Outstanding PlayerNorth Carolina got two of the all-tournament team members, with Armando Bacot joining Love. Kansas had two players on the team: David McCormack and Ochai Ogbaji.For Love, being one of the tournament's five best players shows how crucial he was to UNC. The Tar Heels were a bubble team in February, but they were 20 minutes from becoming the second No. 8 seed to win a national title (Villanova, 1985).His performance on Monday was disappointing but an anomaly in the grand scheme of his tournament run.Still, the level to which Love struggled is noteworthy. If this is his last game as a Tar Heel, it will be a disappointing finish to an overall successful season.
