No. 4 UNC dominant in rebounding and routs Florida State 92-67 in ACC Tournament quarterfinals
Associated PressWASHINGTON — Armando Bacot scored 14 points and grabbed 10 of his team’s 48 rebounds to Florida State’s 22, and fourth-ranked North Carolina rolled into the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament semifinals with a 92-67 victory Thursday. “And for us to dominate the boards on both ends, I thought that was a huge key for us in allowing them to be successful out there.” Winning their sixth in a row, the Tar Heels flexed their muscles on the boards, at one point grabbing four offensive rebounds on the same possession late in the first half — a sequence Bacot described as “a ton of fun.” By halftime, the Seminoles had just six. “We’ve been working on it every single day.” A combination of rebounding domination and some timely shooting — as Florida State went ice cold from the floor — helped UNC pull away. “They were much more aggressive, much more physical.” BIG PICTURE Florida State: Missing the NCAA Tournament for a third consecutive season could bring some questions about how the program is trending.
