By helping inflict well-documented agony on Blue Devils, UNC basketball gem Armando Bacot may trigger some unpleasant memories.
Fifth-year players are practically everywhere. They have been ever since the NCAA decided not to count the truncated 2020-21 season against anyone's eligibility. Even so, 2019-2024 UNC basketball big man Armando Bacot attracted incessant jokes from nearby fanbases.
That's not to mention the Final Four knockout to Krzyzewski's career a few weeks later and the all-time UNC rebounder's 2-0 mark against Jon Scheyer's Blue Devils as a fifth-year Tar Heel last season. On that note, remember that Bacot's decorated college career spanned four head coaches between the archrivals in Scheyer, Coach K, Roy Williams, and Hubert Davis.
Moreover, the 24-year-old Bacot, now on the Memphis Grizzlies' preseason roster after going undrafted in June, isn't shy when it comes to passionately supporting his alma mater. Adding it all up, it's no surprise that Bacot decided to check in with Hubert Davis' Tar Heels in Memphis' FedExForum ahead of their 84-76 exhibition victory over Penny Hardaway's Tigers in the St. Jude Tip Off Classic.
Seen the team twice since i left .. once because I was moving out of my apartment so I went to practice this time they’re playing 3 minutes from me why are ya’ll so obsessed with me 😭😭😭Plus, perhaps he further disturbed some Duke fans by sticking around and watching one of his former teammates, junior guard Seth Trimble, pour in an electrifying 33 points for the preseason No.
