It was a dog fight Friday night between UNC and Pitt, with the Tar Heels getting the last punch to move into the Atlantic Coast Conference finals.
The story continues as the Tar Heels not only fight to win the ACC tournament but also to claim a No.1 seed in the NCAA tournament. The 72-65 win gave UNC a huge boost to grab a top spot in a bracket, and Mississippi State helped hugely with a double-digit win over Tennessee.
Armando Bacot led UNC in the win over Pitt, finishing with 19 points and dominating the board with 11 rebounds. Bacot’s defensive abilities were on full display, switching and distributing guards shots.
RJ Davis also had a significant role in the win, dropping 19 points in the second half, using his signature step back to pour it on. Pitt needed it more, but UNC showed who wanted it. In case you missed it, here are the best photos of the Tar Heels beating Pitt.
