• This is the fourth consecutive game a freshman has led UNC in scoring (Cole Anthony the first three and Bacot tonight).
Tar Heel Player Notes
• Freshman Armando Bacot had a game-high 22 points, 14 rebounds, three blocks and two steals.
• Bacot has double-doubles in the last two games.

None of them also had three blocks.
