UNC basketball’s RJ Davis, Armando Bacot talk loss vs. Alabama
Following UNC basketball’s loss to Alabama in the NCAA Tournament, RJ Davis and Armando Bacot gave their final thoughts on the Tar Heels’ season.
The North Carolina Tar Heels men’s basketball team filled in the gaps on its 2024-25 schedule, which was released in full Tuesday night.
Fifth-year senior RJ Davis, the reigning ACC Player of the Year, and sophomore Elliot Cadeau are among the key returners in the fourth season under head coach Hubert Davis.
Coming off an ACC regular-season championship and Sweet 16 appearance in the NCAA Tournament, the Tar Heels are expected to be among the top-10 teams in the nation with a new-look roster.
Ian Jackson, Drake Powell and James Brown are a part of UNC’s latest freshmen class. Belmont’s Cade Tyson, Vanderbilt’s Ven-Allen Lubin and Georgia Tech’s Tyzhaun Claude were the Tar Heels’ key additions via the transfer portal.
