That... could have gone better. UNC wasn’t expected to beat a veteran Iowa team, but all the same, the Heels’ obvious talent advantage and brief taking of the lead midway through the second half still showed us what could have been, or possibly could be, before a crushing end. But, encouragingly, unlike the Texas loss and unlike most of last year’s losses, this one both showed the promise of the good things this team can do and had some real educational points rather than just being a frustrating close loss where the team just didn’t, or couldn’t, do something right.
