There are probably a non-zero amount of UNC fans out there who did not see the second half of the ACC Tournament semifinals. It is hard to blame them for finding something else to do with their Friday night when the Tar Heels trailed 45-24 at halftime. Maybe in a way those who tuned out saved themselves from one of the more brutal losses of the season, as Carolina fell just short of a miraculous comeback in a 74-71 defeat.
Carolina’s offense was absolutely brutal in the first half. They couldn’t seem to make any shots that weren’t at point-blank range.
