On Groundhog Day, UNC only sees a shadow of the team that had been flying high

Posted Feb 2, 2021
Just when you thought UNC had left the sloppy, poor-shooting basketball full of defensive lapses behind, it came back like another bad day for Bill Murray in “Groundhog Day.” The Tar Heels rallied from a 21 point first-half deficit to pull within four but could come no closer in a surprising 63-50 loss at Clemson. On Groundhog Day, the struggles returned. (Tar Heel Tribune)
