North Carolina wins 3rd straight, cruises past Pitt 75-65
Armando Bacot scored a season-high 21 points and had 10 rebounds to lead North Carolina to a 75-65 victory over PittsburghJANUARY 27, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Two boards shy of double-double Bacot registered 17 points (8-12 FG, 1-4 FT), eight rebounds, an assist, two steals and a block across 28 minutes in Saturday's win over NC State.
Impact Bacot has scored 15 or more points in three of his last four contests, and he also has one double-double in that small sample size. Bacot has scored in double digits in all but four games this season, however, and he has been one of the Tar Heels' most consistent players all season long. He is averaging 12.0 points and 7.7 rebounds across 22.9 minutes per game in 2020-21.

Stuffs stat sheet Wednesday Bacot notched 18 points (8-10 FG, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals across 22 minutes in Wednesday's win over Wake Forest.
Impact Bacot scored at least 10 points in eight of his first nine appearances, but he has posted double-digit scoring efforts in just two of his last five contests. This 18-point output was his second-best scoring figure of the campaign and he was also quite effective from the field, so this performance might boost his confidence going forward. Bacot only has three double-doubles this season, but he has been productive on both ends of the court and that shouldn't change going forward.

First double-double this month Bacot notched 15 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and a steal across 27 minutes in Tuesday's win over Syracuse.
Impact Bacot posted his first double-double since Dec. 12, when he registered 19 points and 11 boards against North Carolina Central. Bacot was coming off two straight single-digit scoring performances but this performance should boost his upside going forward. He is averaging 11.3 points and 8.0 rebounds per game this season.

North Carolina plays 1,000th ACC game, beats Syracuse 81-75
Garrison Brooks and Armando Bacot each had a double-double, and North Carolina pulled away in the last three minutes to beat Syracuse 81-75JANUARY 13, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Role diminishing Bacot had seven points (1-3 FG, 5-5 FT) and two rebounds across 21 minutes in Tuesday's victory over Miami.
Impact While it's a good sign Bacot is still starting while Garrison Brooks was moved to a bench role, it was Brooks that was on the court when the game was tight down the stretch Tuesday. The bigger factor here appears to be the emergence of Day'Ron Sharpe, who logged 12 points and 16 rebounds across 27 minutes. The inconsistent UNC rotation isn't helping Bacot, who has yet to record a double-double in four ACC games. He's also been limited to single-digit scoring in back-to-back games.

Leads Tar Heels once again Bacot notched 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 FT), five rebounds and two steals across 23 minutes in Wednesday's loss at Georgia Tech.

Paces Tar Heels in loss Bacot notched 16 points (7-9 FG, 2-4 FT), six rebounds and a block across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 79-76 loss against NC State.
Impact Bacot has been North Carolina's best player by a wide margin this season, and he paced the Tar Hells in scoring while finishing with the second-most rebounds. Bacot has scored in double digits in all but one of his appearances this season, and the sophomore big man is averaging a career-best 12.0 points with 8.4 rebounds per game in 2020-21.

Strong performance in second half Bacot scored 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 FT) while adding eight rebounds, two blocks and an assist in 28 minutes during Saturday's win over Kentucky.
Impact Bacot registered 11 of his team-best 14 points during the second half, and he played a key role in the team's win over the Wildcats. Bacot has two double-doubles over his last four games and has scored in double digits in all but one of his appearances, meaning he should remain a reliable scoring threat for the Tar Heels moving forward.

Posts double-double Saturday Bacot registered 19 points (6-7 FG, 7-10 FT), 11 rebounds, a steal and a block across 27 minutes in Saturday's 73-67 win over North Carolina Central.
Impact Bactor has scored in double digits in all but one of his appearances this season, but this one was his best output by a wide margin -- he scored a season-best 19 points while also grabbing 11 or more rebounds for the third straight contest. It's still early in the season, but Bacot has already settled as UNC's top fantasy performer with averages of 11.0 points and 8.8 rebounds in 22.7 minutes per contest.
