ACC Preview #1 - UNC

What to make of Hubert Davis’s time as UNC’s coach?

That’s a tough call, isn’t it?

In his first year, Davis struggled to get his team’s attention before the Tar Heels rallied late and made a run to the national championship game, dealing Duke a loss in Mike Krzyzewski’s final game in Cameron and then again in the Final Four.

UNC fans were understandably high as a kite after that, but last year brought them crashing back down to earth in a surreal flameout.

Picked as the pre-season #1 team, the Tar Heels had a season-long fall from grace, ultimately failing to make the tournament at all.
