I had the pleasure of watching Armando Bacot manhandle Ohio State’s smaller frontcourt at Madison Square Garden last Saturday. It was the first time I’ve seen him look close to 100% healthy, which in turn made him look like a preseason All-America.
Last night, Bacot continued his march to March condition, this time battling a familiar foe in Hunter Dickinson. Former teammates from the AAU program Team Loaded, Dickinson and Bacot looked to be a King Kong vs. Godzilla type match-up in the inaugural Jumpman Invitational, but only one monster showed up.
Armando Bacot made Dickinson ineffectual, holding him to 9 points on 3-9 shooting for the night.
