The Keeping It Heel team has compiled their list of the top 10 moments of the Tar Heels’ 2020-21 season.

The 2020-21 UNC basketball season didn’t end as planned, with the Tar Heels losing by double-digits to Wisconsin in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. It was a unique season from start to finish, as teams had to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic which left games and practices up in the air each week.

The Tar Heels handled it pretty well, not having to shut the program down for multiple days during the year. But the players did lose the traditional UNC offseason that included pickup games, practices, exhibition games and the Roy Williams Basketball camp.

It just wasn’t the same.

But as we head into what should be another unique offseason, we wanted to take one final look back at the season and go over our top moments.

These moments were complied by the staff at Keeping It Heel, and are not ranked in any specific order, rather just the moments that we wanted to spotlight on what was a trying season in Chapel Hill.
