Armando Bacot moves up UNC basketball rebounding list
UNC basketball forward Armando Bacot put together a monster season a year ago for the Tar Heels, grabbing 511 total rebounds which was a new program record in a season.
As the 2022-23 campaign begins, Bacot has his eyes set on Tyler Hansbrough’s program record for a career. Bacot entered this year with 1,002 career rebounds which is No. 10 on the all-list.
And it didn’t take him long to move up.
Bacot moved into 8th all-time on the list in Monday night’s season opener against UNC-W. Doing so in the first half by grabbing his fifth rebound of the game and passing Brad Daugherty (1,003) and Mitch Kupchak (1,006).
Bacot now has six rebounds tonight and 1,007 in his career, passing Mitch Kupchak (1,006) for eighth place in UNC history.
