The Tar Heels need a win today. That is a very simplistic article starter, but it’s extremely true. UNC finds themselves trapped in a four-game losing streak in which they’ve shown some flashes of the team they could be while falling short each time. The ACC slate got off to a rough beginning for Carolina last weekend when they were without Armando Bacot against Virginia Tech.
So many of the reasons the four-game losing streak happened aren’t really relevant now. They aren’t playing multiple games back-to-back, they haven’t been on the road for nearly forever, and they’ve had almost an entire week of practice to right the wrongs of the defeats.
