The United States Basketball Writers Association has released its 2022-23 men's basketball All-America teams, and North Carolina senior forward Armando Bacot is on the third team.
Bacot earned third-team All-America honors from the Associated Press on Tuesday and also was a third-team pick in 2021-22. Bacot is the only Atlantic Coast Conference player on the first-, second- or third-team AP or USBWA All-America teams.

The All-America team is selected by the USBWA board regardless of position after voting from the entire membership and the honor is based on performance during the regular season and conference tournaments.
