Armando Bacot decided to return for his senior year in Chapel Hill and will be the preseason favorite for Player of the Year in the Atlantic Coast Conference and in the talks for national Player of the Year. With Bacot and three other starters back, UNC has opted to “run it back” following a trip to the Final Four.
But with the basketball season still months away, Bacot is just enjoying being a college kid. And that includes hanging out with some TV stars.
On his Instagram, Bacot shared images of him on set of the hit Netflix show “Outer Banks” as they film Season 3. Bacot’s story shows him with actors Chase Stokes and Rudy Pankow.
I can see the scene now.. the Pogues take the traditional OBX—>Chapel Hill ferry and pull up to the Dean Dome to watch Mondo and the guys run it back. pic.twitter.com/yIVE4FKlb8

The show is set in North Carolina in the Outer Banks and even makes a reference to Chapel Hill in season 1 despite the cast having to take a ferry to get there, which isn’t possible. Still, this is a cool moment for Bacot and now we have to wait and see if he potentially makes a surprise appearance.
