UNC fans didn’t even get a good 15 minutes to settle themselves after the football team’s overtime loss to NC State before the basketball team added insult to injury with a 70-65 loss to Iowa State. The Cyclones went on a 10-0 run as UNC imploded down the stretch as Caleb Grill torched them for 31 points on seven threes.
The Tar Heels shot just 18% (3-18) from beyond the arc themselves, which was no match for Iowa State’s nine made three-pointers. The Cyclones were able to score 21 points off UNC’s 14 turnovers. Although Iowa State turned it over ten times, Carolina was able to just cobble together six points off them.
