Round 1 of UNC-Duke goes to the Tar Heels. 4 takeaways from North Carolina’s 93-84 win

Posted Feb 4, 2024
Though he’d failed to reach double figures in scoring four times since the calendar turned to 2024, Armando Bacot once again looked like one of the ACC’s top players. The first-team, all-ACC player each of the past two seasons, made 9 of 12 shots. It’s the most he’s scored in a game since tallying 25 in UNC’s season-opening win over Radford on Nov. 6. (AOL.com)
