Armando Bacot Feels 'Pop' in Knee, But Says He'll Be Fine

Posted Dec 6, 2023
Something happened to Armando Bacot’s knee in the first of UNC's loss to Connecticut on Tuesday. "At the beginning of the game, I shot a free throw, and I went to bend and, I don’t know, I don’t want to say it was a pop but I felt something in my knee. And then the whole game I felt that I just didn’t have that pop anymore. It was definitely tough on me." (Tar Heel Illustrated)
