While it’s been a tough string of games against very good opponents, this has been a rough stretch of basketball for the North Carolina Tar Heels. After finishing up the Maui Invitational with two losses to finish in fourth, UNC came home and lost to Alabama in the ACC/SEC Challenge. As a result, the Heels now sit at just .500, with even their recent wins not being the prettiest.
However, in theory, the schedule should now get easier, or at least won’t feature games against Top 10/15-ish teams until they play Florida in a couple weeks.
