Ahead of Saturday’s highly-anticipated matchup with Duke, Bacot revealed what’s been fueling his team’s surprise run to New Orleans

North Carolina’s path to the Final Four has been a bumpy one. The Tar Heels began the season 12-6 and lived largely on the edge of the bubble through conference play before catching fire at the right time to make an unlikely run to New Orleans.
