Saturday was a bad day for the Tar Heels. Every defeat stings, but the way the loss to N.C. State unfolded was especially painful. This has to be the last “wake up” game of the season for UNC. Teams with title aspirations – and surely the Heels would be in this group – don’t go down the stretch still looking for toughness, passion, intelligence and “want-to”. Had Saturday’s game been against a better team, the margin of defeat would have been much, much larger.
