Following top ranked North Carolina’s 102 -86 win over College of Charleston North Carolina Armando Bacot had this to say about his performance on the court! I still think my approach has got to be better. I didn't think I played a good game today. I don't know, I guess it's something I've got to think on and just look at film and see what I need to work on and just get better at it,Head Coach Hubert Davis had this to say about Armando Bacot performance on the court

He caught the ball where he wanted to,""He outworked whoever defended him to catch the ball as close as he could to the basket. His moves were definitive and strong, and he either scored or got fouled. I was very proud of him."
