ACC/Big 10 Challenge pairs released: UNC at IU | Way-too-early 2023 NBA mock draft: Where's Bacot?

Last Friday, ESPN released the pairings for the 2022 edition of the ACC – Big 10 Challenge. The North Carolina Tar Heels will travel to Bloomington, Indiana to take on the Indiana Hoosiers. UNC last went to Assembly Hall for the ACC – Big 10 Challenge in 2016-17; a game the Hoosiers won 76-67. Justin Jackson led the Tar Heels in scoring that night with 21. While that setback was disappointing at the time, it helped turn that team into the national champions they eventually became. Will Hubert Davis’ team fair better with the veteran leadership of Leaky Black, Armando Bacot, RJ Davis, and Caleb Love?

ESPN released their first way-too-early 2023 NBA mock draft. Caleb Love was the only Tar Heel listed, coming in at 42nd. Even Armando Bacot was missing from the full two round mock. That leads to the question: If Bacot isn’t in the conversation for being drafted in 2023, would he use his COVID eligibility and come back to school for a fifth year?

NIL money doesn't set you up for life…..🤣😂🤣😂worst advice ever…..

Todd Pegram says:

In a few years it's going to be UNC vs Southern California in the ACC/B1G….so confusing….And nobody thinks Nance gets drafted?

Chad Hickes says:

Yes I can see Bacot coming back for his Super Senior Season. Even if Chapel Hill wins the title I think he comes back. The NIL money will be off the charts for him and the whole Team. Plus he could be one of the first Tar Heels ever to try and win not only 2 Natty’s but back to back titles as well. Have you noticed that we aren’t going after another center for the upcoming 2023 class? We will have Will Shaver and Jalen Washington. GG Jackson will probably be slotted to start at the PF position. We will be losing Pete Nance and Leaky for sure. We just now offered a center this past week. James Brown from the state of illinois but he is part of the 2024 recruiting class. So not only do I think it’s very plausible but I also think it could be likely. Fun to think about that’s for sure. GDTBATH

Jake Schwartz says:

If Mando returns for a 5th year we will be the projected #1 next season as well. He would easily be the best player in college bball then.

Chad Hickes says:

Moo U fans should be so excited about the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. Their Basketball program is such a huge draw that they get to play against……..no one!?🤣!!! How embarrassing! Lol! All kidding aside how do you explain that to your boosters, alums and fan base?! Ouch! 😛GDTBATH 🐏👣
