Lessons Learned from UNC basketball's loss to Alabama in the ACC/SEC Challenge
The Tar Heels have now been dominated by both sides of the Iron Bowl.
It was another night to forget for the UNC basketball program, as they were handled rather easily by Alabama on Wednesday night. The Tar Heels once again dug a deep first-half hole, falling behind by as much as 13 in the first half, clawing back to within six before settling for a nine-point halftime deficit.
Beating No. 10-ranked Alabama was always going to be a tall order. Literally. The Crimson Tide rolled out three starters standing 6-foot-11. Ultimately, that size, UNC's poor ball security, and a bad night from the perimeter doomed the Tar Heels. Let's dive into some lessons learned from North Carolina's third loss in a row.
