No. 1 North Carolina shook off a cold start and a halftime deficit to defeat College of Charleston 102-86 Friday night, Nov. 11, 2022.
They struggled on the boards early and that, coupled with poor shooting left them trailing the Cougars at the half.
The Tar Heels came out with more energy and focus at the beginning of the second half, with Bacot making strong moves in the paint.
