Posted Mar 27, 2022
North Carolina crushed all hope of a March Madness miracle in the early going Sunday, getting 20 points and 22 rebounds from Armando Bacot in a 69-49 runaway over 15th-seeded Saint Peter’s. The eighth-seeded Tar Heels made their record 21st Final Four, and next on their list is none other than rival Duke and its soon-to-be-retiring coach, Mike Krzyzewski. (Associated Press)
