While we all can agree that this has been a really frustrating basketball season, the one thing that is hard to deny is that the Tar Heels likely don’t even crack .500 without senior center Armando Bacot. The first-team All-ACC big man had quite an impressive season despite teams clamping down on him, and now the Associated Press have joined in to give him his flowers.
The AP has named Bacot as a third-team All-American, making him the only ACC player to make any of the three teams. That may or may not seem low to some, but one has to wonder where he’d be if UNC performed better as an overall team.
