In search of a return to the NCAA Tournament, star player Armando Bacot of North Carolina will begin his fifth and last season with the team. After failing to qualify for the tournament the previous year, Bacot is looking to end his career on a high note after helping the Tar Heels win the national title two years prior.
In addition to being one of the finest players in the nation, the forward returns as North Carolina’s best player. Also, according to one legendary college basketball player.
For the upcoming 2023–24 college basketball season, ESPN’s Dick Vitale unveiled his 15-player, three-team All-Rolls Royce team.
With Zach Edey (Purdue), Boo Buie (Northwestern), Tyler Kolek (Marquette), and Johni Broome (UConn), Armando Bacot was one of five players chosen for the first team.
Averaging 15.9 points and 10.4 rebounds per game while shooting 55.4 percent from the field, Bacot had a strong 2022–23 season.
In his career, he established a program record for most rebounds, and he’ll break it this year.
