Losses like the one that UNC suffered tonight against Iowa are really hard to swallow for multiple reasons. Reason #1: nobody is used to Iowa being this good. Reason #2: despite having a really young team, the Tar Heels made a major comeback in the second half only to have the rug yanked from under them. Reason #3: the rug was being yanked by not only the Hawkeyes, but by some questionable calls that put the Heels in major foul trouble. Give credit to Iowa, they are indeed a legit national contender, but one has to wonder what this game would look like if it were to occur in March.
