Snubbed Tar Heels elect to skip NIT, 'focus on moving ahead'​

North Carolina's Armando Bacot to return for fifth season​


Bacot, who is among the 15 finalists for the Wooden Award, averaged 15.9 points and 10.4 rebounds this season. The Tar Heels (20-13) decided not to play in the NIT after failing to make the NCAA tournament field for the first time since 2010. The 6-foot-11 Bacot is North Carolina's career leader in rebounds, double-doubles and double-figure rebounding games. He has averaged 13.7 points and 10.1 rebounds in his four seasons.

He averaged 16.3 points and 13.1 rebounds in 2021-22, and he capped that season by becoming the first player ever to have six double-doubles in one NCAA tournament.
