Armando Bacot’s record night — and possible curtain call — in the Dean E. Smith Center will be overshadowed by the loss to Duke. Losing to the Blue Devils always sucks, but the possible death blow to UNC’s NCAA Tournament hopes will make the pill that much more bitter to swallow.
Regardless, in an ugly game mired with poor performances across the board, Armando Bacot performed at the level required to win, but didn’t have enough support to lift the team. Caleb Love, Pete Nance, and Leaky Black cannot all struggle to score simultaneously if Carolina wants to win.
