UNC Basketball 2023-24 Defensive Player of the Year: Armando Bacot

When the North Carolina Tar Heels played team defense at a high level this season, each player on the court made their efforts known.

Harrison Ingram led the team in steals and ranked fourth in the ACC in defensive rebounds.

Seth Trimble’s defensive efforts off the bench were difference-makers in several games.

But time and again, Armando Bacot provided the steadiness that led to Carolina’s much-improved defense this season.

Bacot’s efforts on the defensive end of the floor earned him a spot on the ACC All-Defensive team. It was his first time honored on the All-Defensive team.
