Time was eventually called, but Bacot was done. Without him on the floor, David McCormack scored in the post to push the Kansas lead to three with 22.5 seconds left and North Carolina was unable to draw even on its final two possessions, as Caleb Love misfired twice from 3-point range.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite his gimpy right ankle, Bacot became the first player in NCAA Tournament history to record six double-doubles. After consecutive 20-rebound performances, he had 15 points and 15 rebounds Monday, doing everything in his power to lead the Tar Heels to the title.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not just his effort tonight. The effort tonight that he displayed, he\u2019s done it all year consistently,\u201d Tar Heels first-year coach Hubert Davis said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s why he\u2019s one of the better players in the country.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/BASKETBALL-NCAA_-65.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Armando Bacot became the first player in NCAA Tournament history to record six double-doubles.\" class=\"wp-image-21781486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/BASKETBALL-NCAA_-65.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/BASKETBALL-NCAA_-65.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/BASKETBALL-NCAA_-65.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/BASKETBALL-NCAA_-65.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Armando Bacot became the first player in NCAA Tournament history to record six double-doubles.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">USA TODAY Sports<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Monday night ended a remarkable turnaround for North Carolina, which went from on the bubble to the final game of the season. The Tar Heels won 17 of 20 games to reach the national championship, and defeated nemesis Duke twice in that stretch. Last month the Tar Heels ruined the final home game of Mike Krzyzewski\u2019s Hall of Fame career, and beat him again in the Final Four \u2014 the first NCAA Tournament game between the rivals. The Tar Heels just didn\u2019t have quite enough to cut down the nets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say that this season has been successful, just having Coach Davis as a coach. He\u2019s been amazing all year,\u201d Bacot said. \u201cThis won\u2019t be the last time y\u2019all will see this program here.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
