North Carolina guard Caleb Love suffered a non-contact right ankle sprain mid-way through the second half when his ankle turned while running back on defense.
Love, who had 11 points on 13 shots when the injury happened, remained in the game.
He will be able to play through the sprain, but his mobility will be limited, according to our ProBasketballDocs.
Love led the Tar Heels with 28 points on Saturday and has been the main scoring option for the entire tournament.

Armando Bacot, who has 13 points and 10 rebounds on 3-10 shooting, came in with a more serious right ankle sprain but has continued to control the paint for the Tar Heels.
