Love, Bacot lead balanced North Carolina past Virginia Tech

Caleb Love scored 22 points, Armando Bacot had 14 points and 19 rebounds and all five starters scored in double figures as North Carolina defeated Virginia Tech 78-68

Stays hot, even in defeat Bacot provided 12 points (4-12 FG, 4-8 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block in 25 minutes during Saturday's 98-76 loss to Wake Forest.

Impact Bacot was forced into an early exit last Tuesday after taking a hard fall that resulted in a tailbone issue, but even the injury couldn't prevent the big man from logging his ninth consecutive double-double. He now has a double-double in every conference game this season, and while the Tar Heels were blown out in this particular matchup, it still didn't affect the final stat line for Bacot. He's making a case to be the fantasy MVP after not missing a single game so far this season, plus his production almost appears to be matchup-proof. Bacot will next look to help UNC bounce back from a two-game losing streak when the Tar Heels host Virginia Tech on Monday.

Impact Bacot exited Tuesday's game against Miami with a tailbone injury, but he is set to practice today and be available for Saturday. The 6-foot-10 center has started all 17 games for the Tarheels this season, logging 17.2 points, 11.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.4 blocks on 29.1 minutes per game. Bacot will look to continue his dominance Saturday against Wake Forest.
