Armando Bacot Gave It A Go vs. Louisville, Then Turned In His 59th Double-Double

Posted Jan 14, 2023
When Armando Bacot went to bed Friday night, he texted his mother telling her he didn’t think he would play Saturday versus Louisville. But when the 6-foot-10 senior woke up Saturday morning, his ankle felt pretty good. Actually, he felt a lot better and wanted to give it a go against the Cardinals. He did, and then some in the Tar Heels’ 80-59 victory. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
