Wahoo-wa
As a Carolina fan for over 35 years I miss the coaching up of player's from year to year watching them get better, I don't see that anymore with this coaching staff.I hope they don't think they have 2 more years to get this right.
UVA has gave the Heels a hard time for years now. As a Duke fan I would UNC team than Duke. They are getting better and will be damn good come tourney time
Well don't be making room for more banners any time soon. It was fun while it lasted. Looks like the day when unc became just another mediocre acc team has come. NIT bound if we re lucky. Bench full of potential stars and just can't put it together.
I guess Hubert didn't get his prayers answered. What a disgrace of a performance from a team full of talent. He just doesn't know how to coach. His "inspirational" sermons from last year have lost their conviction. NIT bound.
I got so excited for this Tar Heels season with the players returning and it’s been an utter disaster
Let's go hooooooossss
8:21 WHAT WAS THAT? And then the very next play 8:31 Just defines this team. Dean Smith would have this team hitting on all cylinders. Just don't seem hungry anymore. NIL 💰?
Trash!!!!! Soft as tissue!!! SMH
Praying for UNC’s downfall
My great men warriors shutem down.
Carolina's defense, as usual, is just straight trash!!! It's embarrassing how fundamentally awful they are, with seemingly zero sense of urgency or energy, and it doesn't reflect well on Hubert…at all! All that talent, but do in fact just look soft…
Virginia is the first ACC team to win 8 straight home games against the Tar Heels since NC State has did that decades ago when it was at Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh NC before NC State was moved to PNC Arena!
Thanks for the upload
Good things from Washington but some plays idk what he was looking at or doing on a bunch of defensive possessions
Heels fall again because of Hubert Davis coaching. He doesn't know how to rotate his bench. Justin McCoy over Dontrell Styles is insane. He better enjoy him in practice because he is gone after this year. For him not to get no burn is beyond me. Caleb Love pro days are over so I hope he is doing good in the class room. Between him and Davis they continue to make freshman mistakes. This was a very winable game here. Virginia was good but not great. They don't have a guy on that team that is a WOW! UNC guards can't keep nobody in front of them. A season of promise is slowly slipping into a promise of nothing. That being said if they make the tournament I would not want to play them. They seem to play better with house money an nothing better than spending somebody else money Go Heels!
Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?… Dicky V baby! Still doing it… Come on my Heels… WTF?
Jalen Washington made 3 crucial errors in the final 5 min. Even inbounded the ball wrong he was nervous
Hubert Davis can’t even take the blame for everything…
Just give credit where credits due. The team that played better. End of story.
