Armando Bacot Expected To Miss Virginia Game With Ankle Injury

Posted Dec 6, 2019
North Carolina coach Roy Williams says Armando Bacot is likely out for the Tar Heels' game at Virginia on Sunday. Bacot sprained his left ankle in a home loss to No. 6 Ohio State on Wednesday. Williams said Friday that the 6-foot-10 Bacot is walking without crutches, but he has experienced swelling and doesn't see “any way in the world that he can play.” (Associated Press)
