Good news: I am here to tell you that Wednesday night's 83-70 loss to Marquette really doesn't matter. Not in the long term, it doesn't. Carolina still sits 8-5 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, has three games remaining, and if the Tar Heels get to 10-6 in the league, it's very difficult to imagine a world in which they are left out of the NCAA Tournament.
