Impact Washington was held out of a Jan. 28 loss to Pittsburgh due to a knee injury, but he had already seemingly conceded his starting spot to Ven-Allen Lubin prior to that. While Washington was available Saturday, it was still Lubin who got the start at center. As a reserve, Washington still posted close to his season average in minutes, but inconsistency continues to be an issue for the 6-10 junior. It's not the only culprit, but North Carolina's lack of depth at center has certainly played a role in the Tar Heels losing four of five ACC matchups. UNC did manage to out-rebound Duke on Saturday, but this game was essentially over by the middle of the second half.
