Armando Bacot Fought Back Emotion, Instead Choosing to Process

Posted Mar 31, 2024
UNC’s all-time leading rebounder and second all-time leading scorer was about to see his career come to an end. As he settled in his rebounding spot, Armando Bacot wore this reality on his face. If he wasn’t fighting back emotion, it sure looked like it. "It was a sense of shock," Bacot said. "It’s a tough loss, I don’t know how to explain my feelings right now." (Tar Heel Illustrated)
