Double-double not enough Thursday Bacot ended Thursday's 89-87 loss to Alabama with 19 points (8-18 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one block and two steals over 34 minutes. Impact Bacot didn't have his best shooting effort against the Crimson Tide, and his two-way play was not enough to lift the Tar Heels in this one, as UNC couldn't close the game out and had to settle for a shocking exit in the Sweet 16. Bacot had another strong year for the Tar Heels, averaging 14.5 points and 10.3 rebounds per contest. Even though his numbers were a bit down compared to the 2022-23 campaign, it's worth noting this was the third straight season in which he averaged a double-double.
