Bacot’s Stellar Performance Leads UNC to Victory Over Duke

The Winning Streak of North Carolina‘s College Basketball

As North Carolina continues a stellar winning streak in college basketball with minimal losses and a formidable point guard likely to be an All-American, things are indeed looking up in Chapel Hill.

Armando Bacot’s Performance

However, Armando Bacot‘s form has not been as exemplary. Despite starting his fifth year at UNC being ranked high on the CBS Sports’ list of Top 100 College Basketball Players, his performance to date has not matched expectations.

The Unexpected Turnaround

Despite the average performances, Bacot turned things around remarkably in a game against a longtime rival. Bacot scored 25 points, secured 10 rebounds, and gave five assists, bringing North Carolina to a 93-84 victory against Duke. Currently, the Tar Heels are projected to win the league by three games according to KenPom.com.

North Carolina’s Ranking in College Basketball

As of Sunday, North Carolina ranks 4th in the CBS Sports Top 25 And 1 daily college basketball rankings, trailing behind Purdue, UConn, and Houston. This highlights the commendable work of North Carolina’s third-year coach, Hubert Davis, in resurrecting the team’s performance after last season’s disappointing results.

The Road Ahead for North Carolina

The final verdict on Davis’ third season and the success of UNC will only be evident post the 2024 NCAA Tournament. If Bacot returns to form, the Tar Heels might stand a real chance to capture the national championship that eluded them two seasons ago.
