The North Carolina Tar Heels found themselves in a battle early on against Radford on Monday night, but they used a second-half push to get past the Highlanders and open the season up with a win.
Four of North Carolina’s five starters reached double-figures in points, led by Armando Bacot’s 25 points. The center also added 13 rebounds for his 69th double-double of his career.
But Bacot wasn’t the only one contributing. Players like Cormac Ryan, Elliot Cadeau, and Jalen Washington among others had good games. To make it sweeter, Hubert Davis was able to empty his bench and get some guys some key minutes.
Before we look ahead to Sunday’s game against Lehigh, let’s look at the best photos from the season-opening win.
