Virginia looks to bounce back against North Carolina
Posted Dec 7, 2019
North Carolina, fresh off a blowout loss of its own to Ohio State, enters John Paul Jones Arena on Sunday for an ACC tilt. Much like UVa, Carolina will be without its top rebounder. Armando Bacot suffered an ankle sprain against the Buckeyes and he’s expected to miss Sunday’s game. Without Bacot, even more of the attention turns to Cole Anthony.
