After four games of Cole Anthony ruling the headlines, this game was one for UNC’s other starting freshman.
With most of the rest of the team struggling a bit, Armando Bacot was the star of the Tar Heels’ 75-61 win over Elon. The center led all scorers with 22 points on 9-14 shooting, while grabbing 14 rebounds for his second-straight double double. He filled up the stat sheet all over the place, also finishing with three blocks, two assists, and two steals.
UNC went into halftime down one, but turned it on in the second half to pull away without running into genuine danger in the final couple minutes.
