It’s always frustrating to watch your team lose, and it’s incredibly frustrating to deal with the fact that it’s been eleven years since the team you root for last won in a particular building. With all the momentum in the world, the Tar Heels rolled into Charlottesville Tuesday Night finally looking to put a real signature win on the season.
And just over a minute in, Armando Bacot rolled his ankle.
The rest of the game played out surprisingly as Carolina grabbed a lead in the first half and didn’t relinquish it for quite a while. Unfortunately, Virginia used a stretch where they turned a six-point deficit into a ten-point lead in a flash, and against that squad anyone is going to have a tough time recovering from that.
