Heartbreak. That’s all that describes the feeling for UNC basketball players, coaches and fans after losing the national championship game to Kansas in New Orleans.
The Tar Heels blew a 16-point lead as they watched Kansas storm back in the second half to take a lead late and hold on. In the end, this UNC team achieved a lot in a year where they were on the bubble for the most part ahead of the tournament. But this group fought until the end and even had a chance to win this game and then tie the game at the end as well.
UNC should be proud of their season. They went off the bubble to beating Duke twice and making a run to the Final Four. This is a group that has no reason to hang their heads.
Following the game, many took to social media to react to the game overall and how the UNC season ended.
Let’s see what former players, current players, and others are saying about the Tar Heels season as it comes to an end.
