Saturday’s loss to Kentucky was brutal in every way imaginable, but the best thing that UNC can do now is turn the page. The last time the Tar Heels got embarrassed this season —admittedly not as bad as it was Saturday — they used the disappointment as an opportunity to get better and put together their five-game win streak. Can they do something similar this time?
Appalachian State is the final non-conference game on the schedule before the Tar Heels take on Virginia Tech after Christmas. In years past, games like this following a bad loss involved a lot of frustration being taken out on the opponent.
