It is no secret that Armando Bacot is having a spectacular season, one that makes him a solid candidate for a number of postseason awards. We can now officially say that he is being watched by at least one committee, as he landed on a watch list yesterday.
Bacot has been named to the Lute Olson National Player of the Year Award list for his performance to this point in the season. He is one of five ACC players that were named to the list, including Virginia Tech’s Keve Aluma, Duke’s Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter, and Wake Forests’ Alondes Williams.
