Armando Bacot battles through injuries in UNC's third straight loss

Posted Dec 1, 2022
Without a fully healthy Armando Bacot and continued backcourt shooting struggles, UNC has played itself into unfamiliar territory. Already with a right-ankle issue, Bacot tweaked his right shoulder and collarbone in the first three minutes, then got in foul trouble. Even with those challenges, Bacot put up another double-double, but it wasn’t enough for the Tar Heels. (Tar Heel Tribune)
