CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — As one star ascended, another took a fall that could change a season.
North Carolina’s Armando Bacot got the records and an 80-69 win Saturday against N.C. State in the Dean E. Smith Center in a game marred by what appeared to be a serious injury to Wolfpack leading scorer Terquavion Smith.
Bacot, a senior forward from Richmond, Va., had 23 points and 18 rebounds to pass Billy Cunningham for first with his 61st double-double in program history. He also surpassed Tyler Hansbrough to become the program’s career rebounding leader.
