It is only fitting that UNC’s season ended how so much of it was played. The Tar Heels fell behind big early on, played like world beaters for a stretch late, missed multiple opportunities once the game was close, only to fall short in the end. Today was no different with the Tar Heels falling behind by as many as 22 before ultimately losing 71-64.
The first half was a disaster. Carolina looked like a discombobulated mess that was worlds different than the confident team that took down San Diego State on Tuesday. To make matters worse, they also couldn’t defend.
