If you were one of the fortunate souls that didn’t get to watch today’s game against Louisville, I have some good news for you: the Tar Heels didn’t suffer a last-second heartbreaker! The bad news of course is that the Cardinals ran them out of the building in a 55-72 defeat, further burying the Heels’ chances of getting out of last place in the ACC. It’s probably better to focus on the former more than the latter.
If we’re all being completely honest with ourselves, we all saw this coming before the ball was even tipped. UNC’s Twitter account announced that Garrison Brooks and Justin Pierce were both out for today’s game, which was an immediate recipe for disaster.
