The 2022-23 men’s basketball season was a disappointment both from a team point-of-view, and by individual accomplishments. Perhaps the Tar Heels were given too much respect from preseason prognosticators—they were an 8-seed in the Tournament after all. Any unbiased UNC fan would say that was a fair reflection on the season they had. But we did expect a lot from certain players, especially Armando Bacot. He was the preseason ACC player of the year with an overwhelming 82 votes (2nd place went to Isaiah Wong, who actually won the award).
Now that we know Armando Bacot is coming back, what chance does he have of turning his super senior season into one that will get his jersey hung in the rafters with the rest of Carolina’s immortal legends?
