The North Carolina Tar Heels’ season was a rollercoaster of ups and downs, with a pattern of digging themselves into holes and then making late-game comebacks. The season was marked by many close losses, including several in the second half of games. The team’s inconsistencies and mistakes were a major contributor to their struggles, with Coach Hubert Davis saying they were “off script” and lacked discipline and details. The season ended with a 14-loss campaign, raising questions about Davis’ leadership and the team’s chances of returning to the top of the ACC. Despite the struggles, the team’s resilience and fight never wavered, and they will enter the offseason with a renewed sense of purpose and a chance to rebuild for next year. The team’s general manager, Jim Tanner, is expected to play a key role in shaping the roster, and Davis will need to prove himself to be a worthy leader to restore the program to its winning ways.
