UNC big man Armando Bacot sat in the media room and rattled it off. "We all were flat. (Pete) didn't have a good game. I didn't have a good game. Caleb didn't have a good game. R.J. didn't have a good game. Leaky didn't have a good game. And we still won." Flat was a good descriptor. The Tar Heels defeated UNCW, 69-56, but it was far from pretty.
