Lucas: NC State Rapid Reactions
By Adam Lucas
1. Intense, tough, good win for Carolina in the 80-69 win over NC State.
2. Certainly hoping for the best for Terquavion Smith, who left with what appeared to be a very painful injury after falling awkwardly following a Leaky Black foul.
3. What a day for Armando Bacot, who set a pair of school records. He now owns the career record for double-doubles, eclipsing a mark held by Billy Cunningham for the last 60 years. The ACC and NCAA record, in case you're curious, is Tim Duncan with 87. He also set the school's all-time rebounding record and was honored after the game, with former record-holder Tyler Hansbrough in attendance. Bacot finished with 23 points and 18 rebounds.
