Brady Manek-Armando Bacot Chemistry Paying Off in UNC's Frontcourt

Posted Jan 12, 2022
With 2:18 left in Saturday's game vs. Virginia, UNC's Caleb Love corralled a loose ball off a blocked shot and passed it ahead to a streaking Brady Manek. Instead of going up for an easy lay-in, Manek flipped the ball over his shoulder to a trailing Armando Bacot who finished the play with an emphatic two-handed slam. It was Manek's fifth assist of the game. (Inside Carolina)
