What UNC needs to worry about (hint: not aliens) after the loss at Duke | News & Observer

North Carolina played so poorly in the second half of Saturday’s loss at Duke, Roy Williams was ready to chalk it up to aliens.

“I think some aliens crawled up in my guys’ bodies in the second half because that wasn’t the North Carolina team that I’ve seen all year,” Williams joked.

The Tar Heels coach will probably be safe from our extraterrestrial friends in the ACC tournament. UNC (22-9, 11-7 ACC), the No. 6 seed, will play the winner of Tuesday’s Syracuse-Wake Forest game on Wednesday night in Brooklyn.
