ACC basketball opponents discuss how they defend Armando Bacot

Posted Nov 5, 2023
For Duke's Kyle Filipowski, combatting Armando Bacot’s size was a challenge last season. Per his coach, Jon Scheyer, you "better make sure you put a body on him and block him out" because "he’s one of the best rebounders in college basketball." Miami forward Norchad Omier agreed: "Don’t let him get the ball." And if he does? "Take a charge." (Daily Tar Heel)
