North Carolina's up-and-down 2014-15 season hit a new low Tuesday with its 58-46 home loss to rival North Carolina State.
The Tar Heels (19-9, 9-6) played their worst game of the season, dropping their fifth result in the last seven to slide further down the ACC standings. With three games remaining in the regular season, UNC sits in fifth place, a game behind Louisville for the race to get a bye into the ACC tournament quarterfinals.
More damaging than the seeding implications, though, the performance against the Wolfpack was completely lacking in energy, intensity or efficiency. Three days after scoring 89 points against Georgia Tech, UNC had its lowest-scoring output ever in the Dean Smith Center.
It also ended an 11-game home win streak against the Wolfpack, dating back to the start of coach Roy Williams' tenure, and it was just the third loss to NC State in 31 meetings under Williams.
With a two-game road trip starting Saturday in Miami (Florida) on the horizon, we take a look at what came from this latest disappointing result for the Heels.
