On UNC's next to last possession of the game and UNC trailing by four, Joel Berry missed a layup, then missed a three off the offensive rebound then Isaiah Hicks missed a tip-in before Louisville grabbed the defensive rebound to seal the game. That was UNC's night in a microcosm as the Tar Heels lost for the first time this season in ACC play 71-65 at Louisville.
The first half was straight hot garbage for both teams. Turnovers abounded and neither team shot the ball well. Even amid the ugliness, UNC seemed to be getting the better looks and even managed 22-16 lead thanks to six points from Brice Johnson.
