North Carolina center Armando Bacot's return to Tar Heels is a big win for all of college basketball
Posted Apr 13, 2022
Armando Bacot averaged double-figure scoring the past two seasons. His rebound average this season was the best since 1965. His rebound total set a UNC record – topping Brice Johnson’s 2016 total by nearly 100. With a healthy fourth season, Bacot will smash the Tar Heels’ career rebounding record held by Tyler Hansbrough, with 1,219.
