Bacot Earns Academic All-ACC Honor
April 12, 2022 | Men's Basketball
One of Three First-Team Players Also Named to Academic Squad
North Carolina's Armando Bacot was named to the 2022 Academic All-Atlantic Coast Conference team, the conference announced today.
Â
The junior from Richmond, Va., is one of three first-team All-ACC men's basketball players – with Syracuse's Buddy Boeheim and Wake Forest's Alondes Williams – to also make the Academic All-ACC team.
Â
Bacot led the Tar Heels to their 21st Final Four and 12th national championship game. He led the nation with an NCAA-record tying 31 double-doubles, led the ACC in rebounding (13.1 per game) and offensive rebounds (4.2 per game) and led the Tar Heels in scoring (16.3 ppg), rebounding, offensive rebounds, field goal percentage (.569) and blocks (65).
Â
He became the first player to have six double-doubles in an NCAA Tournament, including the national semifinals when he had 21 rebounds, his fifth 20-rebound game of the season, in an 81-77 win over Duke.
Â
Earlier this season he was named recipient of Carolina's Athletic Director's Scholar-Athlete Award, made the Dean's List in the fall and was a team captain.
