Armando Bacot says this UNC basketball team has better focus, more hunger

Posted Nov 4, 2023
Armando Bacot sounded Friday like the owner of a new and better car that he can’t wait to drive. He’s happy to put last season’s struggles in his rearview mirror and confident that UNC newcomers will produce better results this season. "This year, we are hungry. Last year, we felt we were that good, and we weren’t that good. So that’s really all that happened." (Tar Heel Tribune)
