Another first-half collapse, lack of fight dooms UNC and its NCAA chances

Posted Feb 11, 2025
UNC’s pattern of falling behind by double digits in the first half is back, dooming the Tar Heels’ NCAA tournament chances with another embarrassing effort. UNC appeared to have solved that issue, but it's returned the last three games. Like at Duke nine days earlier, Carolina couldn’t dig itself out of the hole, this time in an 85-65 loss at No. 23 Clemson. (Tar Heel Tribune)
