Duke pounces early as UNC absorbs another blowout loss

Posted Feb 5, 2022
Instead of the greatest rivalry in sports delivering another memorable evening, it delivered North Carolina’s fourth blowout loss of the season. It was more painful for the Tar Heels than the first three because it was against No. 9 Duke. The story of Duke’s 87-67 win quickly took a bad turn when Armando Bacot was assigned to guard Duke's Paolo Banchero. (Tar Heel Tribune)
