The last two seasons have been disappointing by UNC’s impeccable standards. While the Tar Heels technically did not miss out on the NCAA Tournament (due to COVID-19), they finished their injury-ravaged 2020 season with a losing record.
The following year, they were bounced from the Tournament in the first round by a hot-shooting Wisconsin team, a first for Roy Williams at Carolina, which will allow him to better empathize with Coach K when they hit the road on the retired coaches circuit after this season.
With Hubert Davis taking over the program and bringing an updated vision for playing the Carolina Way - with more spacing and an emphasis on perimeter shooting - it’s not exactly clear who will carry the weight for the team.
