I felt like I performed really well in the last game, but when I checked my direct messages, I saw that I had around a hundred messages from people telling me I was terrible and other things because I didn’t grab enough rebounds.
However, the forward acknowledged that he is aware of the opposing viewpoint as the Tar Heels get ready to play the Alabama Crimson Tide on Thursday night at Crypto.com Arena in
“It is, in my opinion, a little out of control. However, I also get the meaning of it, too,” said 24-year-old Bacot. “I can understand the part of fans being made if you bet a lot of money on something and you’re like, one pick away and somebody messes it up. But occasionally, it’s also irritating.
After making five three-pointers and finishing with 17 points and seven rebounds in the 85-69 victory over the No. 9 Spartans on Saturday, Bacot helped calm the fears of his own supporters.
