UNC rallies in second half but can’t close out Florida in Jumpman Invitational

Watching UNC basketball these days kind of feels like Groundhog Day, doomed to repeat the same frustrating patterns over and over and over again. You’ve heard this one before: UNC looked pretty awful in the first half against Florida. They went down 17 points before cutting the deficit to 10 points at halftime. The Tar Heels looked like a different team in the second half on their way to 50 points in the final 20 minutes, but an 8-0 run by Florida to end the game was enough to send UNC to a 90-84 loss.

As good as Florida was in the first half, they also looked like a different team after halftime.
