It’s been six long weeks since the news of Cole Anthony’s injury changed the course of the UNC basketball season. The long wait included plenty of debate as to whether or not Anthony should shut it down for season and instead focus on his NBA career. Cole and his family shot that down pretty quickly, so fans have just been counting the days.
The intervening weeks has seen a rough stretch of Carolina Basketball with losses to Wofford, Gonzaga, Georgia Tech, Clemson, Pittsburgh twice, and Virginia Tech. However, the Virginia Tech loss showed signs of a team getting comfortable in their roles, and the Tar Heels have won two in a row in convincing fashion.
