UNC takes time to wallow after loss at Duke

CHAPEL HILL

The day after it happened Larry Fedora told his players to embrace their anguish. He saw it in their expressions and body language, anyway, and so he told them to feel the pain.

“I told them, 'Wallow in your misery. Go ahead. Wallow in it today, wallow in it on Saturday, and then when you come back here on (Sunday), come in with a purpose to be the best that we can possibly be,'” Fedora, the North Carolina, said on Monday.

Four days have passed since the Tar Heels' 28-27 defeat at Duke. It was, perhaps, UNC's most shocking defeat of the season – more so than its ugly 34-3 loss against Virginia Tech.
