Tar Heel Nation needs to heal from the open wounds that continue to be split open every weekend when Bill Belichick and the UNC football program take the field. Basketball, which had a fairly painful season that ended with a thud against Ole Miss in the first-round of the NCAA Tournament, has returned with hopeful eyes pinned on their progress.
An exhibition against preseason No. 8 Brigham Young in Salt Lake City was essentially a true road game, and an exciting chance to see star freshman Caleb Wilson go up against AJ Dybantsa. It was a close loss, and one without Luka Bogavac available. There is plenty of room for optimism for UNC basketball this season, so let's dive into the lessons learned from a tight loss to BYU.
