On Saturday night, No. 1-seeded UNC men’s basketball fell to No. 10-seeded N.C. State, 84-76, in an unprecedented victory from the unranked Wolfpack in the title game of the ACC tournament. ⁠ ⁠ Despite having multiple chances in the final minutes of regulation, North Carolina was ultimately unable to muster a comeback, and left the tournament empty-handed. ⁠ ⁠ “They played harder,” Davis said. “We couldn’t get stops, and [we couldn’t] execute.”⁠ ⁠ This was especially apparent in the last 10 minutes of the game. After leading by one at halftime, UNC fell backward and found itself trailing N.C. State by three. The team looked discombobulated. They had gotten it together in the first half, but now they were getting killed. ⁠ ⁠ The Tar Heels knew what was going wrong — they weren’t playing hard enough — but still, they were unable to find an answer.⁠ ⁠ 📲 Tap the link in our bio to read more.⁠ 📸 Photos by @diehl_photography and @laracro.photo⁠ ✍️ Story by Gwen Peace.
