Yesterday afternoon, the Tar Heels were able to dispose of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish 81-64, which improved their record in ACC play to 3-2. The Irish have struggled in conference play so far, mostly because of their shotty defense. UNC had the task of taking advantage of this, and no Tar Heel was able to do it better than our Player of the Game, Armando Bacot.
Bacot finished yesterday’s game with 21 points, 13 rebounds, four assists, and two blocks. He was tasked with handling Nate Laszewski, and while the Notre Dame senior did manage to score 17 points, he wasn’t able to deal with Bacot in the paint.
