Video Breakdown: Why Michigan’s defense couldn’t slow down UNC’s Armando Bacot

We’re 11 games into the Michigan Wolverines basketball season, and the team now sits at 7-4 after losing yet another winnable game against a non-conference opponent.

North Carolina was once ranked the No. 1 team in the country before going on a four-game losing streak earlier this season. The Jordan Invitational matchup with Michigan gave both squads a chance to get right before the holidays and the start of conference play.

It was a battle of two of the best big men in college basketball, as Hunter Dickinson and Armando Bacot went toe-to-toe. One clearly outclassed the other — Bacot finished the game with 26 points as the Tar Heels defeated the Wolverines, 80-76.
