How bad is North Carolina this year?

And took Duke to OT last night before losing on a buzzer beater.
Blew a big lead with 4:00 left. Did Roy Williams forget how to coach end-game situations? Face it, the team with better players wins close games. The Dookies made plays down the stretch at the rim and UNC missed FTs. The play to tie the game in regulation was amazing: UNC leads by 3 and Williams has his team make a smart foul to send Jones to the line for 2 FTs with 4 seconds remaining. Jones makes first FT, throws the second right at the rim and comes up with the loose ball, avoids a steal attempt and makes a 18 foot jumper as time expires. Just a spectacular individual effort. Players make plays and the reason NU can't win close games has less to do with Collins' coaching and more to do with a lack of great players.
I watched the end of regulation of the game. Had to be excruciating for Tarheel fans. Multiple missed FTs down the stretch that would have iced the game, plus extremely porous defense that gave up quick points to the Dookies on each possession. Then the missed rebound on the final FT. UNC had to do everything wrong to blow that game, and they did.
It gives me hope that the stars might align and tOSU will finally, after decades, have another bad year in football.
I missed the end of that game. NC looked like they were going to finish with the lead they’d had all half. Duke played quite badly.
I was hoping they’d find a way for both teams to lose.
