This was precisely the senior night that Armando Bacot and RJ Davis deserved. It started with the pregame festivities and all seven of North Carolina’s seniors being recognized. A few hours later, the entire Smith Center was on their feet as Armando, RJ, and Cormac checked out for the final time, and the Tar Heels were up 37. North Carolina clinched a share of the ACC regular-season title with the win over the Irish, and they did it in blowout fashion while celebrating some of the more historic players ever to come through Chapel Hill.
On a night with bitter-sweet emotions and question marks regarding RJ Davis and his future, his game stayed right on pace with his extraordinary senior season, as he led the Tar Heels in scoring once again.
