Armando Bacot, R.J. Davis On UNC Basketball's "Secret Scrimmage" vs. FAU

Posted Oct 25, 2023
"We can compete, and I don’t want to jinx us, but we looked real good defensively," Armando Bacot said Wednesday. "That was really encouraging for me. I really thought we would struggle against FAU because they had experienced guys, they had been playing with each other, made the run, they’ve got four guards that can all score off the dribble."
