UNC shakes off another slow start to beat NCCU

Posted Dec 12, 2020
UNC scored the last nine points of the first half to lead by two at halftime, then added to the lead and took a 73–67 victory. You have to wonder how the game would have played out without Armando Bacot. He scored 15 of his 19 points in the first half when the Tar Heels couldn’t find a groove, and put up his 13th career double-double with 11 rebounds. (Tar Heel Tribune)
