How To Watch
What to Know
We’ve got another exciting ACC matchup on schedule as the N. Carolina Tar Heels and the Miami Hurricanes are set to tip at 7:00 p.m. ET on February 26th at Dean E. Smith Center. N. Carolina will be strutting in after a win while the Hurricanes will be stumbling in from a defeat.
Virginia typically has all the answers at home, but on Saturday N. Carolina proved too difficult a challenge. They walked away with a 54-44 win over the Cavaliers. Despite the victory, that was the fewest points N. Carolina has scored all year.
N. Carolina’s win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Armando Bacot, who dropped a double-double on ten points and 13 rebounds. Bacot has been hot recently, having posted ten or more rebounds the last six times he’s played. Cormac Ryan was another key contributor, going 6 for 11 from beyond the arc en route to 18 points and 0 assists.
Meanwhile, Miami’s recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Saturday after their sixth straight loss. They took a 80-76 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Yellow Jackets. Miami didn’t live up to their potential and found themselves falling short of the advantage oddsmakers thought they had coming into the game.
Kyshawn George put forth a good effort for the losing side as he scored 16 points along with six assists and five rebounds. He didn’t help Miami’s cause all that much…
