Tar Heels miss U-turn, continue on steep path to NIT

Posted Feb 11, 2010
So the Tar Heels are 13-11 overall, 2-7 in the ACC. They've taken home losses in the past month to Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, Virginia and now Duke. Consequently, they'll play N.C. State this weekend with last place -- last place! -- in the ACC standings on the line. "It hurts," UNC point guard Larry Drew II said. "I've never lost this much in my life." Same goes for Deon Thompson. And Will Graves. And Roy Williams himself. (CBS Sports)
