Facing Duke on Saturday, UNC’s Final Four encore is in danger of being a flop after starting the season ranked No. 1
This exact weekend a year ago was a pivotal moment in North Carolina’s eventual run to the national championship game. Already in the midst of a disappointing season, the Tar Heels, taking whatever margin for error they had to make the NCAA tournament and cutting it down to the bone.
Not that we should need the lesson by now, but North Carolina is a classic representation of why we love the NCAA tournament so much — and why it is a consistently terrible predictor of success the following year. We know that Love and Davis can do that in spurts. We’ve seen it before, and perhaps this March we will see it again. But it has proven to be highly unsustainable, and the Tar Heels’ 15-7 record now is simply a reflection of who they are and probably who they always were outside of those three fairytale weeks.
