Armando Bacot Re-Emerges to Meet the Moment in Win Over Duke

Posted Feb 4, 2024
In four previous tries prior to Saturday's rivalry game, Armando Bacot had only one win over the Blue Devils at the Smith Center — a March 2021 victory in front of a limited-capacity crowd. This time, he made it clear in the preceding days that he had “win and go out on top.” Bacot even expressed to his mother that “I think I’m gonna get like 20 and 10." (Inside Carolina)
