Top 15 heartbreaking (Non-Duke) losses in Roy Williams’ first 15 years at UNC

Carolina’s season ended with a dud in 2017-18 with a 86-65 loss to Texas A&M in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Was it a heartbreaking ending, though? Eh, not really. While it was sad to see the seniors graduate on such a sour note after a lackluster performance, you could argue the Heels were an over-seeded #2 and a good-but-not-great team. The 21-point loss to the Aggies was unexpected – the first under coach Roy Williams as the higher seed prior to the Elite 8 round.

Because of both the lopsidedness of the game and the overwhelming material from which to choose, it doesn’t come close to cracking the 15 most heartbreaking losses in the 15-year Williams era, both regular and post season.
