For the second straight sequence of 2 weeks, UNC came off an embarrassing primetime loss and absolutely whooped on an in-state opponent, this time 8 miles down the road in Durham against the Duke Blue Devils. Again, the Heels actually played like their talent dictated they should, and the game looked pretty much over with 5 minutes left... in the first quarter. It’s the kind of game that you just kind of feel good about and don’t learn too much from, but that doesn’t change that analyzing a near-meaningless win feels way better than doing so for a useless loss.
