Close, but no cigar for self-destructive Tar Heels

Posted Oct 14, 2018
While Michael Carter and North Carolina's defense had the most visible late-game chances to make the winning play against the Hokies, they were hardly the only ones presented with such opportunities. With even a little bit of execution in the red zone, UNC could have — and should have — won the game easily. The Tar Heels outgained Virginia Tech by a 522-375 margin. (North State Journal)
