The men’s basketball team has perplexed Hurricanes fans for the last two weeks. One week, they play poorly and drop consecutive games against Virginia and perpetual ACC bottom-dweller Clemson. The next week, they’re a juggernaut that steamrolls through three straight opponents, including securing a double-digit win over Duke.
So what happened? Should we trust the team that plays well and provides its fan base with Final Four aspirations, or do we need to pump the brakes and brace ourselves for a disappointing loss when the team steps onto the floor any given night? While there may be no definitive answer to these questions, there are a few indicators of success to watch for as the home stretch of the regular season approaches.
