In UNC’s past six games before yesterday afternoon’s match with N.C. State, six different players led the Heels in scoring: Armando Bacot, Day’Ron Sharpe, Leaky Black, Garrison Brooks, R.J. Davis, and Caleb Love. Some would call that a balanced scoring attack, given all six players’ flashes of excellence this season amongst an up-and-down season that’s slowly righting itself. Others, like our friend Jake, were prompted to ask, “who exactly is steering this ship?” As was noted at the beginning of yesterday’s broadcast, Bacot is leading the team in scoring, but if the season had ended before yesterday’s game, he’d have been the first Tar Heel since before World War II to lead a UNC team in scoring with less than 12 points per game.
