Posted Feb 4, 2022
The Tar Heels are at their best when they play at home (12–0 this season) and through Armando Bacot, who leads the ACC with 12.6 rebounds per game. That stat tends to turn into offense for the Tar Heels, and it happens to be the area where Duke can be most susceptible. Brady Manek’s ability to stretch the defense gives Bacot more opportunities.
