CHAPEL HILL—Armando Bacot led the way with his 10th consecutive double-double, powering North Carolina to a 78-68 win over Virginia Tech on Monday night in the Smith Center.
Bacot finished with 14 points and 20 rebounds, posting his third game in six outings with at least 17 boards. He is the first Tar Heel to record 10 straight double-doubles since Billy Cunningham in 1965.
Caleb Love scored 22 to lead five double-figure scorers for UNC.
The game was originally scheduled to be played on Dec. 29 but had been postponed due to Covid protocols within the Hokie program.
