UNC vs. Syracuse: Three Things Learned

In true 2020-21 fashion, UNC followed Saturday’s euphoric win with a maddening, lackluster 72-70 loss to Syracuse. It was the first regular season loss to Jim Boeheim’s squad since 2014, and the Orange have now won two of the last three against the Heels.

There’s plenty to talk about from the game, but with one regular season game remaining, there isn’t much to learn about this team. They don’t value the ball, cannot shoot, and occasionally give maximum effort. Truthfully, even though I’ve never disliked watching a UNC team more than I do this year’s version, their commitment to mediocrity is impressive.
