CORAL GABLES—To summarize Saturday’s 77-62 loss at Miami, you could look through some of the ugly stats (zero fast break points, Miami with a 41-36 rebounding edge, a defense able to force just ten turnovers against a turnover-prone UM squad).
Or you could just look over at the Tar Heel bench late in the first half, as Carolina continued to flail against the Hurricane zone. Everything was going wrong. The Tar Heels were in a 1-for-19 stretch from the field. When they weren’t missing shots, they were turning the ball over. Carolina shot 20.7 percent for the half, the lowest percentage in a half since they made just 20 percent at Georgia Tech during the 2010-11 season.
