Welcome to a cool Wednesday edition of Tracking the Tar Heels.
Let's see what the Tar Heels have been up to:
- Senior Writer Daniel Wilco details how UNC came so close but couldn't capitalize in its 58-46 home loss to N.C. State on Tuesday.
- The Tar Heels couldn't overcome an 18-point first half, tied for the worst half in Coach Roy Williams' tenure, notes Sports Editor Grace Raynor.
- Before the game, Wilco previewed the potential impact of Marcus Paige and J.P. Tokoto against the Wolfpack.
- But the N.C. State players refused to let Paige beat them once again, writes John McCann of the Herald-Sun.
- As a result, UNC mustered its lowest point total in Smith Center history, ending a 12-game home winning streak over the Wolfpack, writes Andrew Carter or the News & Observer.
- After the disappointing performance, Williams struggled to make sense of the loss, adds Carter.
- David Allen Jr. explains how Chapel Hill snow affected the men's golf team in Puerto Rico with its ninth-place finish in the Puerto Rico Classic on Tuesday.
