Rival UNC upsets No. 4 Duke in Coach K's Cameron farewell
North Carolina spoiled retiring Hall of Famer Mike Krzyzewski’s emotional home finale at Cameron Indoor Stadium, upsetting fourth-ranked rival Duke 94-81MARCH 6, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Shines against Duke Bacot registered 23 points (10-11 FG, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two steals and two blocks across 30 minutes in Saturday's win over Duke.
Impact Bacot delivered one of his best games of the season on the biggest stage, as he was a pivotal force in this huge win -- the Tar Heels spoiled Coach K's final home game with Duke in dramatic fashion. It's the perfect end of the season for Bacot, who finishes the regular season averaging 16.6 points, 12.5 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 1.5 assists per game while shooting 59.5 percent from the field.

Another monster effort Bacot contributed 17 points (5-12 FG, 7-9 FT), 18 rebounds and two assists in 43 minutes during Monday's 88-79 1OT win over Syracuse.
Impact Bacot may have needed overtime to put up another solid stat line, but it's impressive in its own right that he did so without recording a single personal foul. This follows up another stellar effort from Saturday in which Bacot recorded 28 points, 18 rebounds and five blocks against an undersized NC State squad. There seems to be little that can get in the way of Bacot as he looks to solidify himself in the All-American conversation. One way to do that could be to spoil the final home game of coach Mike Krzyzewski when the Tar Heels head to Durham on Saturday.
