This time of year, the transfer portal in NCAA men’s basketball is popping off as players look to find new opportunities for playing time, development or change of scenery. For North Carolina, there has been mixed news on that front. The Tar Heels made history in a terrible way this season, following up a national championship game appearance by being the first preseason-No. 1 team to miss the NCAA tournament and turning down a bid to the NIT.
Things are looking up for the Tar Heels, however, as news came on Wednesday that double-double machine Armando Bacot would be returning for one final year in Chapel Hill.
