UNC players proud of fight in ACC Tournament, wish desperation had come earlier

Posted Mar 13, 2026
For most of Thursday night, North Carolina looked out of sync. "I’m proud of our guys for fighting, but we shouldn’t have been in that situation in the first place," forward Jarin Stevenson said, who almost always has a smile on his face in postgame interviews but not on this night. "It comes again with energy and getting stops earlier in the game." (Tar Heel Tribune)
