Armando Bacot's Career Performance Leads the Way for UNC

Posted Jan 9, 2022
Armando Bacot told Caleb Love before North Carolina faced Virginia that he never played well against the Cavaliers. Love wasn't hearing it. "I said, 'Get that out your head because it's a new game and it's a new year,'" Love said. "So just going into the game. I told him he had to be him. And he was. He was himself and he dominated the whole game." (Inside Carolina)
