https://sportoclock.co.uk/north-carolina-tar-heels-basketball/hubert-davis-make-a-terrifying-statement-on-unc-basketball-guard/UNC basketball graduate center Armando Bacot didn’t have a huge scoring night for the ninth-ranked Tar Heels (9-3, 1-0 ACC) in Friday night’s 106-69 home victory over unranked Charleston Southern. But it was enough for the 6-foot-11, 240-pound Virginia native to jump to No. 7 on the program’s all-time scoring list.
Bacot, who is in his fifth year at Chapel Hill, finished with 12 points. He only needed eight points to overtake late-1960s UNC basketball star forward Larry Miller (1,982). With 1,987 points as a Tar Heel, he was just 13 points away from joining the program’s six-member 2,000-point club:
- Tyler Hansbrough – 2,872
- Phil Ford – 2,290
- Sam Perkins – 2,145
- Lennie Rosenbluth – 2,047
- Al Wood – 2,015
- Charlie Scott – 2,007
He has a reasonable shot to join the 2,000-point club and climb as high as No. 5 on the above list as soon as the Tar Heels’ next outing.
To reach No. 2 on the list before the regular season concludes — Hansbrough’s milestone is now well out of reach — the 23-year-old Armando Bacot will need to average at least 15.9 points in UNC’s next 19 games. He’s only averaging 14.8 points through 12 games, his lowest total since he was a sophomore.
