Pete Nance downplays locker room meeting: ‘Nothing crazy’

North Carolina recently had a locker room meeting. However, according to forward Pete Nance, this meeting wasn’t that big of a deal.

During his post-game interview following the Tar Heels’ loss to Wake Forest on Tuesday, Nance explained.

“It was definitely needed as a team,” Pete Nance said. “I think it’s good to just let everybody talk and get everything off their chest, I think.”

Nance was then asked a follow-up question about what he needed to get off his own chest and what was discussed.

“That’s stuff that stays within the locker room, I think. Obviously, just frustrated. Everybody’s a little frustrated. Lost games that we needed to win and it’s nothing crazy outside of what should have happened or what teams that care do.”

North Carolina has lost three games in a row, including to in-state rivals, Duke and Wake Forest. The Tar Heels are facing a difficult stretch moving forward, including against multiple ranked teams in their next three games.

The Tar Heels’ next game is on Saturday against Clemson.

Armando Bacot revealed challenge to teammates

After the Wake Forest loss, Armando Bacot challenged his teammates. It was a challenge that he explained to the media afterward.

“We came back for a reason… and this is not it,” Bacot said. “If you don’t want to be here, quit.”

North Carolina played for the national championship last season. However, the Tar Heels came up short against Kansas in the championship game. This year, North Carolina was expected to be a dominant force in college basketball this season. However, as of now, North Carolina is sitting at 15-9.
