A week ago, North Carolina seemed like a team that was primed to challenge Virginia for the ACC lead, as everything seemed to be going right. Then came two losses in three days, with both results involving sizable collapses in the second half, and suddenly the Tar Heels have the look of a team in turmoil.
There's too much season left to start looking at this one as a disappointment or one that won't be able to meet expectations, but in order for UNC to get back on track, it has to get some things fixed in the next few weeks.
There's a lull in the schedule, with only two games in the next 12 days, but then comes the big one: Duke.
The first of two regular-season tilts in the best rivalry in college basketball is coming up Feb. 18, in Durham. As it stands right now, the Heels don't look like a team that can hang with the Blue Devils, but that's what the next stretch is for.
Here's a look at some things Carolina needs to address, fix or prove it can still accomplish in order for that highly anticipated game to not end up being a one-sided affair.
