UNC Basketball: Battling Adversity

I can remember after the Tar Heels dropped two straight in ugly fashion to Miami and Wake Forest in January, I was ready to write this team off. I was frustrated, as I’m sure many fans were, and best believe I was screaming at my TV on many occasions. Given the fact that these players are 18-22 year old kids, I’ve never believed in taking to social media or any public platform to offer unhelpful criticism. That’s not how social media typically works, unfortunately.

This Carolina team, specifically those that have been around for a while like Leaky Black and Armando Bacot, has received every form of criticism you could possibly imagine.
