Dawson Garcia - Will be available Saturday Garcia (concussion) will be available for Saturday's matchup with Georgia Tech, Brendan Marks of The Athletic reports.

Impact Garcia will miss his third straight game after suffering a concussion on Jan. 2, against Boston College. The 6-foot-11 forward has started 12 games for North Carolina, contributing 10 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 0.8 assists on 21.2 minutes per game this season. Head coach Hubert Davis has cleared Garcia for Saturday, but it is unclear if he will return to his starting role or be eased back into action.

Armando Bacot - Shines with another double-double Bacot recorded 29 points (12-18 FG, 5-7 FT), 21 rebounds and two assists over 38 minutes during Saturday's 74-58 victory over Virginia.

Impact Bacot was absolutely impressive in this game and continues to show why he's rated as one of the top big men in the ACC. The junior extended his double-double streak to six games, and this performance was perhaps his best game of the entire campaign since he set a new season-high mark in both points and rebounds. Through 15 games -- all as a starter -- Bacot is averaging 16.6 points and 11.1 boards per tilt.

Brady Manek - Excellent outing against Virginia Manek racked up 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists and one block in 32 minutes during Saturday's 74-58 victory over Virginia.

Impact Manek only has one double-double on the season, but he has been a reliable scoring presence for the Tar Heels and has notched 10 or more points in three of his last four contests. He has started the last two games and might remain in that role until Dawson Garcia (concussion) is cleared to return.

Impact Bacot is one of the nation's leaders in double-doubles and strengthened his cause with another impressive two-way effort in this contest. He's one of the most prolific, versatile big men in the ACC and plays a key role for North Carolina on both ends of the court every time he steps on the hardwood.
