Posted Feb 7, 2020
North Carolina freshman big man Armando Bacot will have a major test in his first UNC-Duke game, trying to figure out how to defend Duke center Vernon Carey Jr. “He’s just a good player,” Bacot said. “I’ve just got to go out there and try to front him, not let him get into a rhythm.” Bacot is excited to play in his first game in college basketball's biggest rivalry.
