UNC is past the halfway point of the season and has split its last 12 games, prompting many observers to ponder what to make of this team two months before Selection Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>If Hubert Davis&#8217; Tar Heels have proven anything during his tenure, it&#8217;s that they are loud, bold and dramatic in whatever they do.  Blowout losses bookended by blowout victories?  Check.  Becoming the third No.  8 seed to reach the national championship game?  Check.  Becoming the sixth preseason No.  1 to fall out of the rankings in 60 years?  Check.  And if you ever need advice on crashing a nationally televised retirement party, just call the basketball office.<\/p>\n<p>Given that brief yet exhilarating history, no one should really be surprised that Tar Heels are a Clemson home victory over hapless Louisville on Wednesday night from being three games out of first place in the ACC regular season standings.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that this is not your father&#8217;s ACC.  The once mighty basketball conference has struggled once again this season, ranking seventh overall in the NET rankings, which is a sorting tool utilized by the NCAA Tournament selection committee, and lacking Top-15 representation in those rankings.  Virginia is ranked No.  17 in the NET, followed by Duke at No.  23. UNC has plenty of work to do, but undoubtedly has the firepower to course-correct and challenge for the regular season title.<\/p>\n<p>The Tar Heels are once again in familiar territory in the NET.  They currently rank No.  32 with a 1-6 record against Q1 opponents.  In 2021, UNC ranked No.  32 in the NET on Selection Sunday with a 3-9 record against Q1 opponents and earned the South Region&#8217;s No.  8 seeds.  This week a year ago Carolina ranked No.  33 in the NET with an 0-4 record against Q1 opponents and ended up as the East Region&#8217;s No.  8 seeds. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"aligncenter figure\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/s3media.247sports.com\/Uploads\/Assets\/957\/565\/11565957.jpg?fit=bounds&amp;crop=620:320,offset-y0.50&amp;width=620&amp;height=320\" media=\"(max-width: 620px)\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/s3media.247sports.com\/Uploads\/Assets\/957\/565\/11565957.jpg?fit=bounds&amp;crop=620:320,offset-y0.50&amp;width=620&amp;height=320\" media=\"(min-width: 620px)\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/s3media.247sports.com\/Uploads\/Assets\/957\/565\/11565957.jpg?fit=bounds&amp;crop=620:320,offset-y0.50&amp;width=620&amp;height=320\" media=\"(min-width: 900px)\"\/><\/picture><figcaption>Seth Trimble (l), RJ Davis (r) <span class=\"meta\">(Photo: Jim Hawkins\/Inside Carolina)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Experience is the differentiating factor between this group of Tar Heels and the two previous versions.  UNC returned four starters last season but welcomed Davis as a first-year head coach.  Davis now has a season under his belt and welcomed back four starters yet again.  His squad ranks 26th out 363 teams in Division I experience and 14th in minutes continuity, according to kenpom.com.<\/p>\n<p>If there&#8217;s a knock on this Tar Heel team, it&#8217;s that they don&#8217;t play like experienced veterans as often as they should.  UNC led Virginia by seven points in the second half on Tuesday night before the Cavaliers flipped the script with a 25-9 run.  It marked the fourth time this season Carolina led by at least seven points in the second half and lost.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, the Tar Heels are likely as good as any team in the ACC when completely healthy.  Two of their losses have come with ACC Preseason Player of the Year Armando Bacot sidelined due to injury and his teammates were still competitive in those conference road defeats.  A year ago, UNC lost four games by points or more, which marked the third time in the 20ACC era the Tar Heels realized that many defeats by that wide of margin.  There&#8217;s been none of that this season.<\/p>\n<p>The Tar Heels&#8217; flaws are evident.  They are not an especially good offensive rebounding team (29.2 OR%, 171st nationally) and are incapable of forcing turnovers (15.8%; 334th).  They are neither shooting the 3-ball well (32.0%; 249th) nor defending the arc effectively (34.7%; 233rd), and struggle to consistently share the ball (47.5% assists\/made FGs; 265th) the way that Dean Smith teams trademarked decades ago.  Despite those troubling trends, Carolina has competed against one of the nation&#8217;s toughest schedules while battling injuries along the way.<\/p>\n<p>UNC remains a program in transition and it&#8217;s just as hard climbing to the top as it is staying there.  The Tar Heels have earned as many No.  8 seeds in the NCAA Tournament (3) as they have No.  1 seeds over the past decade and that doesn&#8217;t include the 2019-20 season in which they would have failed to make the Big Dance had Covid-19 not cancelled the event.<\/p>\n<p>This year was expected to provide the payoff for back-to-back substandard regular seasons.  A preseason No.  1 ranking, fueled by last spring&#8217;s intoxicating run to the national championship game, seemingly made all right with the world for the Carolina fan base.  That reign of dominance never materialized, although while UNC will remain outside of the AP Top-25 rankings for yet another week, the upside for this squad remains.<\/p>\n<p>It took until February last season for Davis to connect and focus his squad for a March run.  There&#8217;s still plenty of time for the Tar Heels to play up to their preseason potential.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Carolina made the trek home from Charlottesville early Wednesday morning in what has become a customary manner, saddled with its fourth road loss of the season and its eighth-consecutive defeat at John Paul Jones Arena.
