Struggling With Injured Ankle, Armando Bacot Removed Himself From Game vs. Virginia

Posted Mar 10, 2023
Armando Bacot’s injured ankle wasn’t right Thursday, and seven minutes into the second half, the first-team All-ACC forward removed himself from the game. "I really couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t post up, couldn’t really fight for rebounds, it was hard to screen and roll, really do anything. So, I just thought Puff would be a better option and I told the coaches."
