UNC Basketball: Beating Duke is all North Carolina fans can hope for

Things have been ugly in Chapel Hill, North Carolina this season, and that’s speaking kindly on the matter.

When coming up with positives, there are very few for a Tar Heels team that is below .500 for the first time in more than 15 years. UNC is now 8-9 overall, and far from a team with legitimate potential for competing in March. The last time a Roy Williams-coached team had a losing record, it prevailed to win the national championship (2004-05). Let’s face it, though, this team isn’t built the same way that one was.

It may hurt North Carolina fans to hear, but some need to realize the truth; that a turnaround like that shouldn’t be expected.
