Achol Akot is a ‘full-grown problem,’ but carries whimsy on and off the basketball court

Posted Oct 23, 2026
Senior forward Achol Akot arrived in Chapel Hill after stops at UCF and Oklahoma State. At OSU, she ranked No. 2 in the Big 12, shooting 63.3 percent from the field. Akot’s first two years of her college career were spent at UCF, where in her last season she averaged 6.6 points per game. At OSU, she nearly doubled that. But it still wasn’t enough for her.
