CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) Armando Bacot had 11 rebounds, reaching double digits for a program-record 62nd time, and scored 14 points as North Carolina Tar Heels rolled by The Citadel Bulldogs 100-67 on Tuesday night.
Bacot passed Billy Cunningham for the record while also posting his 55th double-double of his career and sixth this season. His 11 rebounds led a 47-31 advantage on the boards.
Caleb Love hit four 3-pointers and scored 17 points for the Tar Heels (7-4), who made 15 of 31 from the arc for 48%, besting their 29% season average. Pete Nance and Tyler Nickel both had three 3-pointers and 16 points. Nickel's point total is a career high.
Stephen Clark and Jackson Price scored 15 points apiece for the Bulldogs (5-5), who didn't take their first free throw until more than midway through the second half. They finished 1 of 5 at the line to 21 of 27 for the Tar Heels.
The Citadel had a two-point lead 90 seconds into the game then the Tar Heels went on a 10-0 run and led the rest of the way. The Bulldogs did get within a point with an 8-0 spurt including 3s from Price and Austin Ash but North Carolina outscored them 22-8 for the remainder of the half in a run that included five 3-pointers for a 48-33 lead.
The lead remained comfortably in double figures through the second half, reaching a game-high 36 points in the final minute.
North Carolina is 20-0 against The Citadel, the most wins for the Tar Heels against an opponent without a loss. The teams' previous meeting came in 1991 when current Tar Heels coach Hubert Davis led North Carolina with 16 points.
