UNC had the Smith Center ready to exhale with just under 10 minutes left, sitting on a massive lead and playing the kind of connected basketball that makes a blowout feel inevitable.

Chansky’s Notebook: Time Will Tell

UNC Men's Basketball is a bit of a mystery. They are 18-4 and ranked 14th in the country, some polls have them lower and the latest NCAA seeding has them sixth. Their losses are a blowout to Michigan State on a neutral floor and three on the road at SMU, Stanford, and Cal when they could have taken control of the games before they lost them.

Hubert Davis says late collapse after building big lead ‘unacceptable’

It all seemed to be coming together for North Carolina before it nearly fell apart. With a 32-point lead, the No. 14 Tar Heels slipped into cruise control with 10 minutes remaining, lost focus, and put the brakes on most of what they had done to build the lead. UNC had to withstand a 32-8 Syracuse run to pull within six before holding on for an 87-77 victory. (Tar Heel Tribune)

Video: Locked On Tar Heels - UNC Basketball's Jekyll & Hyde Performances

UNC looked like a top-10 basketball team the first 30 minutes vs. Syracuse on Monday but nearly gave it all away with a lackluster, unfocused performance down the stretch.

Tar Heels Disgruntled After Nearly Losing 32-Point Lead: 'Unacceptable'

UNC came close to writing one of the darkest chapters in program history Monday in the Smith Center. That’s no hyperbole. After building up a 32-point lead against Syracuse, the Tar Heels saw that lead dwindle down to as little as six points in less than nine minutes of game time before the Orange mercifully ran out of time. "That’s just unacceptable." (Chapelboro.com)
