North Carolina traveled to Pitt for its first true road game of 2023-24 on Tuesday night and left with a 13-point victory over a physical Panther team hell-bent on mucking things up. Armando Bacot passed the 2,000-point mark for his career and notched his 74th double-double while getting his FT% back up to 80%. Harrison Ingram’s streak of scoring double-digits in every game this season came to an end, but he affected the game in a multitude of other ways, despite his shooting woes. RJ Davis’ 20-point scoring streak also came to an end, but it was a good sign that other Tar Heels were able to chip in for a tough victory. It’s Hubert Davis’ first win over Pitt.

I think North Carolina need another consistent shooter missed too many 5 foot shots Bacot have been there long enough where it should be almost automatic he looks uncomfortable and out of control a lot of times like he just throw the ball up there and not taking a good shot.
EVERYDAYERRRR BIGG KUSH CHECKING IN great win BACOT bigg ups scoring over 2,000 sum odd points way to want the ball in the paint too
This team is able to win it all. The defense is right there and this is the perfect blend of offensive talent and depth to get it done.
J Wash & Seth Trimble stayed and I think they are the difference makers on this team.
RJ = ACC POY. They need to stop with that other guy from Clemson stuff. RJ is more than likely the NPOY too.
Ingram = He’s a bully!
Cadeau = makes plays at the right time. He will stop making the silly mistakes by season’s end. He’s learning fast.
Coramc = a dog on defense. Midrange game is nice.
Bacot = the man who will get it done when it’s time to get it done.
This looks very much like a national championship team. #HEELS 🐏
Need EC to mature rapidly before March. Too many silly fouls and free throws, wow!
The play by Ingram was great. He obviously was having a bad shooting night but instead of letting it bother him, found a way to contribute with those 15 huge rebounds and great defense. Trimble was amazing, just a great example of what a coach has to do when the opposing team presents matchup issues, Davis did a great coaching job last night, something he failed to do last year in many of these games.
the refs seemed to allow both teams play a very physical game without calling fouls until 10-15 minutes left. they then started calling fouls on the heels but continued allowed pitt to get away with the same. had the refs been consistent with both teams, calling it tight or allowing them to play, for the full 40 minutes, heels would have won by 20+.
hard for me to accept any bacot milestones/records set this season given he got to play 5 full seasons. i was glad that guy last season fell short of Pistol pete's scoring record in his 5th full season. pete only had 3 seasons b/c freshmen were not allowed to play, there was no 3 pt line nor shot clock. this then brings up NCAA records broken by those that were Fr. after '72, thus got 4 seasons.
modern NCAA bball was fully in place in '86 when both the shot clock (started at 45 seconds and eventually down to 30) and 3 line were implemented (in the ACC, it was once about a foot below the top of the key before it became an official NCAA rule). the extra covid season is temporary, for 3 classes, making it hard for future players to break records held by 5th year players.
nevertheless, bacot got the RB record last season which is legit but this extra season will make it hard for better future rebounders playing their full eligibility.
I would love to hear a player or coaches honest take on TeeVee Teddy.
That question you asked Pac K was no drop defense. Their point guard killed us last year. The different was defense not team but more focus on defense
Seth and Washington need more minutes.
How bout Mando getting pissed off and letting his teammates know to get him the ball in the paint
Emilie Hey! Happy New year!!
How about Seth Trimble ??
