The night the Tar Heels' season died

Posted Feb 11, 2010
Yes, UNC technically still has seven regular season games remaining plus the ACC tournament, but the loss to Duke dropped the Tar Heels to 2-7 in the ACC, which means barring a miracle run in the ACC tournament the Tar Heels will not be playing in the NCAA tournament. The only thing they are playing for now is pride, but remember now, this is UNC. They don't hang banners around here for pride. (Sports Illustrated)
