Saturday’s UNC game against UCLA had all the makings of another disappointing game for the Tar Heels. They fell behind by double digits early on, and even their rallies seemed to bring them close but not over the hump. Carolina trailed by as many as 16 in the second half before turning on the offense and clawing their way to a 76-74 win late against UCLA in the CBS Sports Classic.

The Tar Heels led for just 50 seconds in the game, which should tell you a lot about how dire things felt for about 38 of the minutes of the game.
