Not only can UNC not win any games that we have grown accustomed to them winning, but we can't even stay remotely healthy even while losing. Tyler Zeller returned from injury to play 16 minutes and chip in 9 points and 7 boards, so I hope he is ready to up his play because it looks like David Wear is not going to play against Florida State. Travis Wear might return, but it is uncertain.
Either way, are you surprised? This season has not gone well and I know players are already talking about what they are going to improve on this summer. A little disheartening, but it is reality because this team will not make the NCAA tournament. It's bubble popped and we will not have a chance to add more banners this year (barring a miraculous run in the ACC tournament, which I have no faith in because of the team I have seen since the beginning of January).
I would just like to point out that every opposing team, especially in the ACC is loving this Tar Heels team because they can return the favor that UNC has done to them for the past 3 years, but even the last 5 years. To all of them, I can only say, enjoy while you can. This team is not dead forever and they should check out this piece from ESPN. It talks about how losing won't break Roy Williams and will drive him farther and I agree completely. He may be tearing his gray hair out coaching this year, but if you think this season won't burn a fire under him to bring in better players, coach harder, recruit harder, then you better watch and learn. We'll be back, so foes - enjoy it while you can.
