The chances are running out for the UNC basketball program to add to its NCAA Tournament resume after another inconsistent performance in Monday’s loss to No. 15 Miami.
The Tar Heels (16-10, 8-7) are currently ninth in the ACC and have zero quad one wins to its resume. The preseason No. 1 ranked team and ACC favorites are a far cry from the team that had a double-digit lead in the 2022 National Championship Game.
“Oh, I’m stressed the hell out,” Armando Bacot said postgame about UNC’s tournament chances. “I want to get back to the NCAA Tournament. That’s all our goal. I mean, this would have never even crossed my mind. But yeah, on a level of worried, I’m 100-percent worried.”
“Well, in parts of our game, as a team, there is inconsistency. And so, you’re right,” Davis said. “… In order to be successful, one, you’ve got to be good. And then I think number two is you’ve got to be consistent, whether it’s an individual player or as a team. Those are two traits, two boxes that you have to check. And consistency at times has been an issue for us this year.”
“We know,” Bacot said. “We all know. Everybody in the building knows what’s at stake… It’s just tough, it has been all year. This is not how any of us wanted it to go, but we can’t feel sorry for ourselves, and we’ve got to figure out something.”
