UNC big man Armando Bacot says he's playing in the national title game after rolling his ankle against Duke on Saturday night
Bacot briefly exited against the Blue Devils after rolling his right ankle with 5:18 to play in the second half. Following a brief stay on the sidelines, Bacot checked back in with 4:36 remaining and ended up finishing the game.
At the time of his exit, UNC trailed Duke, 67-65, after a pair of AJ Griffin free throws. The back-and-forth affair saw the heated rivals exchange the lead seven times before guard Caleb Love nailed a contested three with 28 seconds remaining to give the Tar Heels a 78-74 lead. Love eventually iced the game at the free throw line 20 seconds later.
One of the top rebounders in the country, Bacot recorded an 11-point, 21-rebound double-double in the win, his sixth of the NCAA tournament. He will look to continue his dominant performance against KU after becoming the first player in ACC history to record 30 double-doubles in a season.
